Brian Blomerth's Lilly Wave (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A visual biography of the infamous ketamine researcher John C. Lilly.




Since 2019, graphic novelist Brian Blomerth's stunningly original comix histories have combined detailed research and riotous visual wit to illuminate the discovery of LSD (in Brian Blomerth's Bicycle Day) and the popularization of psilocybin mushrooms (in Brian Blomerth's Mycelium Wassonii). Now, in the third entry in his ongoing series, Blomerth opens a porthole on the life, experiments, and addictions of John C. Lillythe man whose development of the isolation tank, controversial studies in dolphin cognition, and ketamine-fueled dives into the nature of consciousness made him perhaps the most notorious researcher of the psychedelic era. Featuring alien visitations, interspecies encounters, and no shortage of concerned onlookers, Brian Blomerth's Lilly Wave sees a beloved artist working from an expanded palette of industrial ink-splatter and oceanic airbrushing to bring readers a story that's equal parts cosmic and paranoid, transcendent and tragic.
