Some people have too much time on their hands - but I'm glad they spend it on this rather than on denying the real world.

According to designer Elizabeth Perez, "The book's spine is screen-printed with a matchbook striking paper surface, so the book itself can be burned."

Not that you'd ever want to, of course.

Communist Remix of the Avengers

Rough Cut Comics verkaufen einen kommunistischen Remix von den Avengers im Stil der alten Marvel Comics von Jack Kirby und Stan Lee, kaufen kann man das Teil für grade mal 3 Pfund hier.

“Communism’s mightiest superheroes in their most dangerous adventure ever” promises the cover strapline of this glowing tribute to the style of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Communism’s mightiest super-heroes, striking at the heart of evil Capitalism for the workers of the world! Many years ago two men changed comics forever. Their work reflected the attutides of the country in which they lived – attitudes focused on a certain other country behind a certain Iron Curtain. Freedom Collective is the tale that asks: what if those two giants of comics had lived in THAT country, and shared ITS hopes and fears?

Can the Krimson Kommisar, MIG-4, Mastodon, Ajys and Homeland deafeat the power of the evil Chief? It is a crime against the State not to buy the comic and find out. And crimes against the State are taken VERY seriously.

THE MOST SPECTACULAR ILLUSION IS REALITY ITSELF

Debates in mid-century French psychiatry reflected these assumptions. Were hallucinations a malfunction of the sense organs or, as Esquirol maintained, a ‘central’ phenomenon of the brain itself? Was it possible for them to co-exist with reason? Should all mystic states be regarded as hallucinations? Such questions were put to the test by Esquirol’s protégé Jacques-Joseph Moreau de Tours, who experimented with large doses of hashish in the company of a literary demi-monde that included Théophile Gautier, Gérard de Nerval and Baudelaire. He concluded that, even at the mindbending peak of its effects, hashish produced only illusions based on sensory distortion rather than ‘true hallucinations’, manufactured by the mind from whole cloth. ‘A hallucination,’ he wrote in 1845, ‘is the most frequent symptom and the fundamental fact of delirium, mental illness and madness.’ The physician and theorist of dreams Alfred Maury assumed a direct equivalence between hallucinators and the insane: ‘For what are the latter, if not minds who believe in their hallucinations as if they were serious facts?’
