The Vortex of the Weird : Systemic Feedback and Environmental Individuation in the Media Ecology of Ito Junji´s Horror Comics

• This paper briefly discusses a handful of comics by Ito Junji1 in relation to the genre of cosmic horror and the literary work of H. P. Lovecraft. My claim is that these comics — while they are perfectly accessible individually, and can be read, at least to some degree, as isolated works of art — also comprise a collective; a network of interconnected media objects organized in the form of a media ecology.
