Scan of Timothy Leary's Neurcomics

Alterati has a link to a torrent file to an out-of-print Timothy Leary comic called Neurocomics published in 1979 by Last Gasp. I have an original copy, and it’s a fun introduction to his 8-circuit model of the brain, popularized by Robert Anton Wilson in Prometheus Rising.


This work, while in black and white, was years ahead of the modern pop art comic of the time. The black and white line drawings and illustrations are easy to digest and allowed the amazing depth of information Dr. Leary had synthesized to be delivered in 33 pages of psychedelic imagery and concise language. Other than Timothy, the creative talent involved included Pete Von Sholly, Tim Kummero, S. Riley, L. Ochi, B. Clark, and George DiCaprio. (George DiCaprio is, of course, the father of film star Leonardo, who just happens to be scheduled to play Dr. Leary in an upcoming pic. It all fits together in an acid sort of way.)
