WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL
METAPHYSICAL NEUROMA ARCHIVE!
Metaphysical Neuroma (MN) was a labour of love in the form of a weekly interactive webcomic that Attila Adorjany wrote and illustrated from approx. 2008 – 2018. It’s been through various iterations digitally (which was really how it was meant to be consumed) and we self-published 2 printed issues. As a webcomic, it was nominated for a couple of Shuster Awards and had a small but loyal following.
Big chunks of MN were lost due to digital archive misfortune. Presented here is what we've managed to cobble together (jpegs, scans from sketchbooks, and other bits and pieces) - and we’ll be adding notations and behind-the-scenes content to it as we go for a “director’s cut DVD commentary” kind of experience that we hope you enjoy!

SIDE NOTE
Each set of layouts had photo reference or photo bashing and 3d recreations of sets and and in some cases specifically made to insinuate likeness to pop-culture tropes iconography and casting choices made in existing film projects like Pulp Fiction Fight Club and Dune(1980) actors like Brad Pitt Danny DeVito , As Kasper travels into and out of other narratives of his obsession or when he remembers things through a pop culture filter altering the reality with typically two versions of the layout with the real verses distorted memory.
