Bicycle day

Beautifully drawn in a style reminiscent of the animation that was popular at the time, this graphic novel presents an artistic retelling of Albert Hoffman's historic bicycle "trip."

This book has the brightest colours I've ever seen on paper

My sweetie got both of Blomerth's recent books on psychedelic drugs, this one and the one about the family that popularized shrooms in the West. This book was about the invention/discovery of LSD by Albert Hofmann. Apparently people who take LSD trips know about "Bicycle Day." The book contextualize Leggi tutto

I've admired Blomerth's comics for a long time but this is definitely the longest I've spent with them. He's not a particularly great storyteller (though, to be fair, it's also a pretty simple and familiar story) but his drawing style is wholly his own. Colorful and drippy with a strong picturebook

Extremely fun. The drawings are sometimes gorgeous, sometimes adorable, often times both. After years of hearing short versions of the Bicycle Day story it was way cool to get a fuller historical perspective. Huzzah, scientific discovery.

now this was a delight. what a fantastic way to tell a story. this art was killer. top notch book!

This is an absolutely gorgeous book. The illustrations are creative and beautiful. Snag a copy of this book while they're cheap.

DRUGS!
