I read the book over a decade, or close, ago and only once, so it's hard to compare. I've seen the movie many many times, mostly during my teens years... yep... And from all those foggy memories this might be closer from the movie then the actual book. Anyway this was funny! Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas might be one of the craziest drug trip cult book/movie pop culture of all time. This is wild! The art was well done and really participate in creating this strange and intoxicate ambiance. A very unique story, not for everybody that's for sure, but if you like it, or don't mind going out of your zone, this is definitely a piece of anthology right here! (and don't stop here, the movie has to be seen (Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro), and the book has to be read!). Classic!

This is a book for the fans of the movie or the book, it takes the book and adds graphics which reminded me a lot of the movie, it's a well crafted coming together of the two mediums. Does it bring anything new though? Not really which is a real shame, I was hoping to pick up on some bits I had missed before. It captures the madness perfectly and I really enjoyed just how Thompson was drawn, the scenes where he shouts were well done.
If you have never read the book then I recommend reading that before you start this... unless you have tasted a bit of adrenochrome then sit back and enjoy all the pretty colours.
