The first introduction of tulpa into western culture was through the journals of Alexandra David-Néel. Tulpa were discussed mainly in occult and paranormal related circles during this time although there were some references to tulpa in philosophical discussions of reality. The idea of tulpa began to slowly enter pop culture through the form of horror and monster stories most notably being a 1989 issue of DC Comics ''Detective Comics'' #601-603 in which Batman tracks down a "young man of Tibetan heritage [who] is using magic to create creatures to steal from the rich".<sup>[[http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Detective_Comics_Vol_1_601 8]]</sup> Tulpa were the topic in various forms during this time period ranging from horror novels to creepypasta.<br />
