The great American iconoclast, the great American outlaw, the great American hedonist. However you choose to view him, Thompson remains the high water mark for social commentators worldwide, and a truly fearless champion of individual liberties. This is his story. Illustrated and adapted as a graphic novel.

Over the course of Hunter S. Thompson's extraordinary life he was publically branded a bum, a vandal, a thief, a liar, an addict, a freak and a psychopath. Some of these epithets were true.

Yet, even when compared to the most significant figures of the 20th century, his legacy remains a brilliantly vital force. This is his story - the story of a troubled kid 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.
