"Lilly Wave" - Brian Blomerth
Following "Bicycle Day," about the chemist who discovered the hallucinogenic effects of LSD, and "Mycelium Wassonii," a chronicle of the life and travels of the scientist couple who popularized magic mushrooms, the long-awaited third installment in this graphic novel series has arrived!
Brian Blomerth is an illustrator and graphic novel artist who has earned acclaim for his original, journalistic comic style, which combines meticulous research with stunning visuals.
"Lilly Wave" focuses on the life, experiments, and addictions of American neuroscientist John C. Lilly, one of the psychedelic movement's most notorious researchers, including his development of the isolation tank, a device for sensory deprivation, his controversial research into dolphin cognition, and his work on ketamine addiction to explore the nature of consciousness.
Alien visitations, encounters with extraterrestrial life... Brian Blomerth skillfully uses ink splatters and airbrushes to portray the turbulent life of John C. Lilly in this masterpiece, a cosmic, delusional, transcendental, and tragic tale. Released by Anthology Editions, New York.
