    • When we drop into Europe, we'll start with excerpts of enlightenment and the age of science, relaxing with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (The first science fiction novel in 1832) that reflects this new world view 
    • We'll also stop in France and witness the rise of existentialism; on this tour we'll  read one of the first Wordless Novels by Frans Masereel--Passionate Journey (1920's)
    • In a trip to Latin America, we meet Sorjuan de La Cruz (an Early feminist from 1650's) and the rise of postmodernism in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1975)
    • We'll also stop for two landings  in Japan looking at early forms of haiku from 1650's through 1850's and then to Modern Horror and the graphic novel-reading Junji Ito's Fragments of Horror

    Get a ticket, come aboard and say Bon Voyage to the real world!
