Comments: Beautiful colors are used as we see a psychedelic dream trip caused by LSD. The illustrations of the visions seen are weird things that you are likely to never see again.
A new young journalist Seymour is working on a story about Ronald Stark a man involved with the selling of LSD. His career ends up taking a turn for the worst. He loses a lot.
Is there a conspiracy going on? Are the CIA involved? Was one of their own an LSD dealer? Questions are coming up and it is a mystery. Seymour got caught right in the middle of it.
The hallucinating effects of LSD are shown throughout the story. Seymour now he just gets pulled in more and more. Is there really a conspiracy?
Albert Hoffman is the discover of LSD. Which leads to MK-Ultra being formed by the CIA. They are a top secret group. This group has a mission and it is not something the CIA would want the general public knowing about. What this group does is criminal. It is abusive and morally wrong.
This is a mature comic as it has nudity and full sexual scenes.
The art throughout this book
This is a drama filled story with lots of conspiracies. Seymour is in over his head. Yet he wants to know the truth.

Comments: A man is investigating the use of LSD and the FBI's ties to it. The story is hard to follow as it does not tell you who the characters are and why they are doing what they are doing.
The story does get into there being a mole giving away agents identities planted in the KGB. So FBI agents undercover are at risk.
The whole story is about LSD so how much is real and how much is an hallucinatory dream. There is so much going on and it has barely any clear explanation as to what is happening. People get tortured and escape then have other people helping but who are all these people?
Seeing the effects of LSD on people and the hallucinations they have is weird. The colors used to help illustrate them look amazing. A great imagination was needed to come up with these hallucinations.
Seymour Phillips has been on one hell of a ride not knowing what is real or not and with all the possible government conspiracies who knows for sure what is going on really.
The art does fit pefectly for this type of story only though the reader needs to have it made clearer what is happening as it happens.
