About the Author

Born in Tokyo, Keiichi Koike won the prestigious Tezuka Award in 1976, when he was 16. His style, similar to Katsuhiro Otomo and Moebius, is marked by vivid representations of psychedelic experiences. Drugs are an important part of his inspiration: "Except peyote, I have tried almost everything: hashish, heroin, cocaine, acid, magic mushrooms... From a strictly graphical point of view, however, LSD is most important by far...

Editorial Reviews

"Serving bromides via drama, and saving the pain for humor - my god, this is a book for right now. Some experiences are universal." — The Comics Journal on Koike's "Heaven's Door Extra Works"

"Like Akira as envisioned by Philip K. Dick, this manga uses the language and imagery of science fiction to delve into altered states and transcendental expanses. Koike’s hyperrealistic artwork, which renders the futuristic city in obsessive detail, makes his eye-melting depictions of altered states both hypnotic and disorienting. Fans of new wave science fiction, classic underground comics, and psychedelic poster art will want to take this trip." — PW, Starred Review
