Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

*This is not a comic, but Hallucigenia is a time honoured comics tradition

By Hunter S. Thompson, Published by Doubleday, Vintage

Softcover, 224 pages, black and white text, with illustrations, 1972

50th Anniversary Edition • With an introduction by Caity Weaver, acclaimed New York Times journalist

This cult classic of gonzo journalism is the best chronicle of drug-soaked, addle-brained, rollicking good times ever committed to the printed page.  It is also the tale of a long weekend road trip that has gone down in the annals of American pop culture as one of the strangest journeys ever undertaken.

Also a major motion picture directed by Terry Gilliam, starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro.
