You may have seen the 2004 movie In the Realms of the Unreal, a documentary about the life of artist Henry Darger.  A friendless eccentric, Darger lived alone for decades.  Only when he left his apartment for the last time to go to the hospital did his landlord discover a 15,000 page graphic novel, The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion.  Darger had been writing and illustrating this work from 1909 to 1973.  The haunting beauty of the book’s illustrations, the bizarre innocence of its story, and the extreme solitude of Darger’s life combined to make him an icon of the Romantic cult of the outsider artist.  The movie enjoyed considerable success, several books about him have been published, and any number of museums have exhibited his works.  The Story of the Vivian Girls has never been published in its entirety, though as Darger continues to attract attention it begins to seem possible that it might someday be.  There are three more pictures after the jump.
