Legend of the Mind - A Phildickian Trip
I am very excited to finally release my latest book - The Legend of the Mind, which is now available on Amazon and from my direct stores. The paperback is a top-of-the-line production, printed on 80lb satin pages and 100lb satin laminated cover by Mixam Books. The first print run was a limited edition of 100. Here are all the books details:
TITLE OF BOOK:
Legend of the Mind - a Philip K. Dick tribute: The 4th Stigmata
This is a full-color illustrated art/comic book dedicated to Philip K Dick, written and illustrated by Jeff Hopp. An original sci-fi story that pays tribute to many Philip K. Dickian concepts found in some of his most important books. The book consists of four primary chapters filled with time travel, telepathy, drug paranoia, political conspiracies, space travel, rock and roll, dystopian future, alternate realities, and spiritual overtones. There is also an epilogue that consists of fine art paintings inspired by quotes from Philip K. Dick's Exegesis, as well as illustrations to poems from poets that Philip K. Dick was inspired by.
Although the target audience for my book is serious Philip K. Dick fans, I believe every science-fiction fan will love the artwork and story, as well as find it spiritually fascinating.

QUOTES from REVIEWS:
A Phildickian epic tale of space, time, and beyond!
Hopp has created a colorful, psychedelic adventure in which the reader is carried along a convoluted stream of events like a leaf riding rapids.
The loosely-drawn, lively narrative panels are interspersed with dazzling full-page compositions of surreal magnificence.
Space opera meets mysticism in a series of images that carries you beyond the familiar world and into pastures bizarre.
This book plays like a music album not just with its imagery but its musical ties.
Genre:
Science-Fiction
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Book is printed by Mixam. 100lb satin laminated cover, 80lb satin interior.

Where the Wild Things Rock new edition!
Hello,
I've just published a major upgrade to my Rockology ebook on Amazon.
Originally, the book was called 'Where the Wild Things Rock', and then 'Three Dreams'. It then became Rockology when I added a fourth story to the anthology.
I've spent the past 2 months totally redoing the book, mainly because the old ebook was done in the .mobi format, and the new updated version was using kindle's new tool that uses a new format that is far superior.
I also added several new pages of art and updated the cover and back cover.
It is a far superior book but still contains the same 4 fantastic stories, although I did update many art cells of those as well.
So, if you have purchased the book previously, please resynch your purchase to get the new version.
If you have not purchased it before, here is the link:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094XBFSM8
I'm currently working with a printer to update the paperback version as well which will be far superior to the Amazon print-on-demand one currently available.
Here is what the book is all about:
'ROCKOLOGY' is a full-color illustrated anthology by Jeff Hopp, featuring four fantastic stories of science-fiction and imagination which feature both comic panel pages as well as full-page illustrated artwork.
Chapter stories featured:
'Where the Wild Things Rock' - a rock and roll parody of Maurice Sendak's classic 'Where the Wild Things Are'.
A fresh look at a classic tale. Our young hero stumbles into a land of rock & roll legends and becomes the leader of the band.
'Fall of Earth City' - an illustrated song written by Hawkwind.
A mysterious presence from the past is woken from centuries of slumber, and the world is transformed.
'A Day at the Beach with Picasso'- an illustrated poem inspired by Ray Bradbury's 'In the Season of Calm Weather'.
Picasso creates his greatest masterpieces in the sand that endlessly get swept away by the tide.
'King Who Stole the Universe' - inspired by the Mahogany Rush song 'King Who Stole (...the Universe)' from the 1975 ‘Strange Universe’ album.
A deceiving king with an evil plan finds himself all alone.
Full-page paintings include portraits of John Lennon, Jim Hendrix, Owsley Stanley, and Albert Hofmann.
Quotes from Amazon reviews:
'Each of these stories is not only well-conceived, but the art is stunning and if anyone can draw the attention of serious art critics and audiences alike, it is most assuredly Jeff Hopp. This is a must-own art book for the library'.
'All four stories were captivating, and I enjoyed them immensely. Great writing styles overall and like I said, the artbook was amazing'.
'In this sensitively entertaining book, Jeff brings to life his own version of stories we all know and he has populated his redefined tales with wonderfully bizarre characters'.
'Jeff Hopp's illustrations are beautiful, to say the least. Eye-catching and mind-boggling'.
'What is important to mention is that this is beautifully illustrated by the author's own artwork and it's a book I highly recommend even if just for that reason alone'.
Thank you. Jeff

Legend of the Mind - a Philip K. Dick tribute: The 4th Stigmata
A Phildickian Trip thru Space, Time, and Beyond!
A full-color illustrated graphic novel dedicated to author Philip K. Dick.
This colorful, psychedelic adventure carries the reader along a convoluted stream of events like a leaf riding rapids. The loosely drawn, lively narrative panels are interspersed with dazzling full-page compositions of surreal magnificence.
Space opera meets mysticism in a series of images that carries you beyond the familiar world and into pastures bizarre. In 'Legends of the Mind' our hero (David) flits from one state of reality to the next, waking from a dream, activating or deactivating an immersive hologram, or being teleported to a new realm. There is no way of telling which, if any, of the arenas he finds himself in are 'real' reality or some alternative illusion. Woken by his radio playing the song The Martian Time-Slip, David drops the hypodermic on the floor. Staggering to the bathroom he is 'zapped' into a space car, flying through the air towards a concert hall. Arrested for being a 'commie', he finds himself interrogated by a telepathic slime mold from Ganymede... a creature who soon becomes frustrated at David's dogged insistence on his conspiracy theories. Rescued from a mental institution by a mysterious author, he finds himself communing with a higher dimension of intelligence. A new journey begins.
The Legend of the Mind consists of four primary chapters filled with time travel, telepathy, drug paranoia, political conspiracies, space travel, rock and roll, dystopian future, alternate realities, and spiritual overtones. There is also an epilogue that consists of fine art paintings inspired by quotes from Philip K. Dick's Exegesis, as well as illustrations to poems from poets that Philip K. Dick was inspired by.
