Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

In 2015, IDW adapted Hunter S. Thompson’s seminal novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas into a single-issue comic, bringing the gonzo journalist Raoul Duke and his attorney Dr. Gonzo’s drug-fueled, hallucinatory journey through the American desert to a visual medium. The comic distills the book’s surreal, satirical critique of the American Dream into a compact, kinetic format, staying true to Thompson’s first-person, paranoid prose. It stands as a unique, stand-alone graphic interpretation of a classic counterculture text, offering both new readers and longtime fans a vivid, panel-by-panel descent into the heart of the 1970s.
