Thompson\u003c\/strong\u003e by Bingley, Will. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781419702426.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the course of Hunter S. Thompson’s extraordinary life he was publicly branded a bum, a vandal, a thief, a liar, an addict, a freak, and a psychopath. Some of which were true. Yet even when compared to the most significant figures of the 20th century, his legacy retains a brilliantly vital force. The great American writer, the great American iconoclast, the great American hedonist—however you choose to view him, Thompson remains the high-water mark for all social commentators worldwide, and a truly fearless champion of individual liberties. This is his story, the story of a troubled kid from Louisville who went on to become an international icon. A story that plumbs the darkest depths of American society and charts the now legendary adventures that birthed Gonzo Journalism, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and a lifestyle beyond imagination.\n\nPraise for Gonzo:\n“I was attracted to its bright orange cover and the drawing of the long-legged Thompson clutching a satchel, running away from something. It was enough to entice me to crack open the book. I didnt stop reading until I was finished, past my bedtime, a couple of hours later.” —Boing Boing\n\n“This diamond-sharp graphic biography is a witty, thoughtful book . . . Bingley and Hope-Smith’s portrait is brave and badass, taking the kind of chances Thompson would have appreciated.” —Publishers Weekly\n\n\"Exactly what it says on the tin . . . brilliant.\" —Brain Pickings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abrams ComicArts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44956718825525,"sku":"ByrdShop_1419702424","price":44.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781419702426_2bd5c3d9-8bae-40c6-bc8b-2fcdbaec96b8.jpg?v=1778781696","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/gonzo-a-graphic-biography-of-hunter-s-thompson-9781419702426","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
