First Edition. Signed by the author, Charles Fischer, and signed by the artist, Joe Service. Paperbound. Mint copy. Written by Charles Fischer with artwork & lettering by Joe Service. While this short story adapted to comic book form has been described by most sources as a work of fiction, it is actually the telling of a real event in Hunter S. ThompsonÕs life in 1991. Thompson meets with a wealthy sheltered Southern California couple who are in the process of publishing ThompsonÕs first finely printed limited edition signed book of short stories. While the names of the people and town have been fictionalized, the rest is the real story of Thompson running amuck in his indulgences while at the same time putting the rebel-worshiping couple in their proper place. A morality tale for the Gonzo generation written by one of the participants using a pseudonym to protect the guilty.

Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. Inscribed by the illustrator, Ralph Steadman, to the beat poet, Chris Challis, to the free front endpaper. Scarce signed. Many critics have hailed Steadman's illustrations as another main character of the novel and companion to Thompson's disjointed narrative. The New York Times noted that "Steadman's drawings were stark and crazed and captured Thompson's sensibility, his notion that below the plastic American surface lurked something chaotic and violent. The drawings are the plastic torn away and the people seen as monsters." Soft covers. A clean copy with some light wear. Signed by Illustrator(s).

Bought at Half Price Books already signed. Only near fine because of a remainder swoosh on the bottom of the text block. Odd fact: there is another signed Kingdom of Fear with the same swoosh. Did Thompson do this? Quote from the DJ flap: Thompson is at the peak of his narrative powers in Kingdom of Fear. And this boisterous, blistering ride illuminates as never before the professional and ideological risk taking of a literary genius and transgressive icon. Signed by Author(s).
