DOPE RIDER A FISTFUL OF DELIRIUM: A Fistful of Delirium (English Edition)

Product Information

The magazine’s baked readers became big fans of the brilliantly illustrated and psychedelic comic featuring a skeleton cowboy known as the “Lone Stoner” who prowled the prairies of the American Southwest. Along the way, the cowpoke encountered bizarre characters, outlandish landscapes, and some badass weed! Such imaginative transformations evince in the covers Kirchner did for Al Goldstein's pornographic magazine Screw in the 1970s. In one cover, indicative of Kirchner's taste for drawing ultra-dominant women, men line up like slaves before an enormous nude woman who looms over the landscape like a sacred temple. In another cover, nude female forms fly through the sky like minotaur bomber jets.

Kurokuma have done a great job of capturing the nomad style of Dope Rider and shaping it into audio form, adding their own unique spin to the tunes which also perfectly fits the DP character. Top stuff.In the mid-1970s, Kirchner wrote and illustrated the surrealistic comic strip Dope Rider for High Times. In the postscript essay he wrote for this new collection, Kirchner writes, "As I go through my daily affairs, I feel I often have one foot in the material world, the other in the world of my imagination." The finest work in Awaiting the Collapse allows us to step into that imaginative world too, and dream along with Kirchner's strange and wonderful visions. Highly recommended. In December 1973, Ralph Reese introduced Kirchner to Wally Wood, for whom he worked as assistant for several years. An other third of the book is a miscellaneous collection of comics whose stories range from the loony (the sextraterrestrial invasion of Earth in “They Came from Uranus”) to the satirical (“Critical mass of cool”) and the outright subversive (if you ever wondered what games toys play at night, read “Dolls at Midnight”).

Kirchner eschews any narrative or character development that isn’t in service to a bit or a gag and the bits and gigs are in service to visual inventiveness and his exploration of surrealism, perspective, and his breaking the confines of the medium. Rendered in Kirchner’s confident hand, the strip reads as natural and understated, no matter how out there it gets. In working in such a limited space, Kirchner’s work in Dope Rider feels all the more outsize. (…)»In 2002, Kirchner returned to freelance illustration, working primarily in advertising. [5] Personal life [ edit ] Awaiting the Collapse finally contains a previously unpublished essay by Paul Kirchner about his career and his influences, which helps put in perspective the works published in this book.

And yet for all the attention to detail and all the layering of allusion, Kirchner's illustrations never feel cramped or stuffy. There's space to breathe here, and this stuff is good to inhale. Dope Rider's drugginess isn't so much narcotizing as enlivening. The strip propels itself with a vivid kinetic energy that functions on its own logic, a visual grammar that Kirchner develops throughout the series. In "Highwire", the opening entry in Paul Kirchner's new collection Awaiting the Collapse, a tightrope walker navigates the skyway of a busy metropolis. The walker's magical high wire takes him over skyscrapers and into offices, dinner parties, supermarkets, and the homes of the gray citizens who, for panel after panel, fail to look up and see the miracle above them. In the comic's final panels, however, a man gazes up at the high-wire walker in a moment of recognition.Filthiest Sludge record I've ever been deafened by!!
