Alex Gibney’s 2008 documentary Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, in its full and glorious whacked-outnity for your delectation this lazy afternoon.

IMDb adds:

Fueled by a raging libido, Wild Turkey, and superhuman doses of drugs, Thompson was a true “free lance, ” goring sacred cows with impunity, hilarity, and a steel-eyed conviction for writing wrongs. Focusing on the good doctor’s heyday, 1965 to 1975, the film includes clips of never-before-seen (nor heard) home movies, audiotapes, and passages from unpublished manuscripts.

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.
