Bicycle Day is an inspired underground comic book cum graphic novel that takes readers on the trip that started it all, Albert Hoffman's bicycle ride home from his lab at Sandoz Pharmaceuticals on April 16, 1943, where he had just resynthesized the 25th in his series of derivatives of the alkaloids of ergot fungus that were "scaffolded" on the lysergic acid compound, and in the process been exposed to the chemical, LSD-25.  Prepare yourself for a wild ride!

Line and color battle it out for 192 pages as Blomerth modulates the representations of Hoffman's shifting preceptions of reality and so provide reader's with a behind-the-eyeballs point of view.

Brian Blomerth's highly anticipated follow up to Bicycle Day,  Mycelium Wassonii is a similarly spectacular documentary, this time around focusing on the pioneers of psilocybin research.  Not sure what to expect?  Check out some sample pages posted by the publisiher, Anthology HERE.  Hold onto your hats!

It's the new Brian Blomerth book!  

From the introduction: 

"In Brian Blomerth's Lilly Wave we are presented wtih a vivid and insightful exploration of the life and legacy of John Cunningham Lilly, who was one of the most influential and controversial psychedelic researchers of the 195os through the 1970s, before he lost the plot in ketamine dependence."

Readers of Blomerth's prior works, Bicycle Day and Mycelium Wassonii will know what to expect.  Those previously unexposed to Blomerth's work – along with, of course, anyone else who is interested – can check out some spread's from Lilly Wave on the Mexican Summer / Anthology page, here.
