Gonzo: A Graphic Biography of Hunter S Thompson by Will Bingley and Anthony Hope Smith.
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 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 and a lifestyle beyond imagination.
Under £9 from UK publisher Self Made Hero, which also made the animated promo above.

Check out the full image gallery and backstory here.

Apple is falling behind Google’s Android. And if you’re bullish on Apple, these trends should raise a big red flag.
The Android gains matter because technology platform markets tend to standardize around a single dominant platform (see Windows in PCs, Facebook in social, Google in search)
