THIS REALLY WAS A STRANGE COMIC
Our pal Roldo sent over this amazing artifact. It’s a comic book created by Chris Welch, Chris Rowley, and me back around 1972. It was a luridly stoned precursor of The Road Warrior, and the premise was that an experimental psychotropic chemical weapon was accidently released which fried the human brain into horridly dysfunctional perma-trip mush. The only survivors were folk/freaks who’d had a previous psychedelic experience. (Yeah, we had fun back in the day.)
And by a weird synchronicity, I came into touch with Chris Welch yesterday while checking out Face Book. But I tell you about my Face Book adventures later. Right now I have much I want to write about and am summoning the energy (or maybe the entities) to do it.
