Kevin Huizenga has been wrestling with the philosophical issues surrounding mind and perception for quite some time through his everyman character Glenn Ganges and his wife Wendy. This approach has allowed him to humanize these problems through an ordinary man with an agile brain and fertile imagination. He first used this approach in Supermonster #14, the “Gloriana” issue, as he explored the depiction of the simultaneity of perceptual apprehension through Glenn experiencing a powerful moment watching a sunset in a library. It was a depiction of Glenn’s sensory filters being turned off for a moment, not unlike a psychedelic or mystical experience. That kind of experience forces one to deal with sensation and perception in its rawest and most immediate states, shoving aside everyday understanding of an event.
