Overview

San Francisco, 1971. As the Vietnam War rages, the government wages war at home against the hippy counter-culture. High profile drug trials capture headlines. Seymour Phillips, a headstrong journalist eager to prove himself, discovers key information uncovering a vast drug network. A routine interview leads to a sensational accusation that the man accused of trafficking mass quantities of LSD, works for the CIA. Seymour is approached by CHASE, an eccentric, paranoid stranger in disguise who claims to be a former CIA operative and have the inside scoop on the CIA/LSD connection. Chase insists that Seymour has only scratched the surface. The two forge a most uncommon alliance in a dangerous and mind-bending quest for the truth behind quite possibly the most bizarre chapter of the CIA's history. While most Americans were watching Leave it to Beaver and listening to The Everly Brothers, an eclectic group of CIA operatives were spiking each other's coffees with LSD, throwing decadent parties and hiring prostitutes to slip unsuspecting johns drug-laced drinks in order to observe every stoned and kinky moment from behind two-way mirrors. And this was only when they weren't dreaming up the next far reaching ""official"" application for this new, all-powerful, mind blowing drug - a drug that would ironically fuel the counter-culture over a decade later. Coincidence? Maybe not.

In Project MK-Ultra, Sex, Drugs and the CIA, artist and author Stewart Kenneth Moore sends the reader on a fantasmagoric roller coaster ride that just so happens to be the real history, mostly, of one of the most sordid, bizarre - and covered-up - chapters of the CIA's history. -- Brendan McNally, author of Germania This is a stunning work that puts Stewart Moore firmly on the map as one of the great graphic novelists of his generation. There is no better medium to explore the mind-bending story of one of the most controversial CIA dark ops in history, and Moore's artwork is the next best thing to dropping a tab of LSD yourself. -- James Hider, author of The Spiders of Allah and Cronix Project MK-ULTRA: Sex, Drugs and the CIA is a mind-bending experience written like a suspenseful thriller and brilliantly drawn like an acid trip. Its intent is to expose one disgraceful and little-known episode in the history of the CIA, but its real achievement is the vivid depiction of a time when paranoia was a reliable tool of investigation and reality was a matter of opinion. -- Siegfried Mortkowitz, journalist, poet, translator (...and he was there rubbing shoulders with a few of the personalities that appear in the book) This stuff is terrific and it's obviously a labour of love. -- David Lloyd, artist, co-creator with Alan Moore on V for Vendetta
