and Stay Dead. . .

presents, Wild Boys

A graphic adaptation of William Burroughs'

Wild Boys, a Book of the Dead

Part 1, Chapter 1. the Psychic Psoviet

None of the events illustrated below appear in Burroughs' novel. But many will. All work is drawn by me, directly into Photoshop using a Wacom tablet and a mouse. All work is original except where otherwise noted.

Enjoy. . .

Wild Boys, Part 1, Chapter 1: The Psychic Psoviet

Spring 1968. Paris in Flames!

Chap 1, Part 1, Cover

The title of Chapter 1: Psychic Psoviet is a nod to a book of essays entitled Psychic Soviet by Comrade I.F. Svenonious. Two images of Eiffel Tower on the cover and p.2 were appropriated from les internets. Also, the first frame on p.1, of Parisian rioters, was traced from a very common image of the protests. Google it.
