Mutants and Mystics is of interest to my comic brain. Did you read Grant Morrison's The Invisibles? That was the one that made me realize "Yes, you can make a comic like this". And for FLAP I fully indulge the "transcribing the script(ure) from phantoms creatures of the mind" approach that morrison and others describe
Big fan of Grant Morrison's work, specifically their run of Doom Patrol which I would consider very Fortean. Excellent inspiration to have! Kripal actually covers Morrison's work throughout the book.
Charles Fort did seem to have a huge influence on some science fiction authors. As my area of interest is the pulp era (pre-1953) and to some extent the rest of the 1950's, I have noted this for myself. H. Beam Piper, for example, mentions him by name in "Time and Time Again" (1947) - although I think they cut the reference out when they made it into an 'X Minus One" episode later.) Cheers!
