Rockology - a Sendak, Bradbury, Hawkwind and Mahogany Rush tribute: Tales of the Imagination.
A full-color illustrated anthology featuring four fantastic stories of science-fiction and imagination in comic book panel format as well as full-page psychedelic illustrations by artist Jeff Hopp.
Chapter stories include:
'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 a corrupt world is transformed forever.
'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.
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.
