This book is an absolute must for anyone even mildly interested in conspiracy theory. You could read a stack of library books and still not get what you'd get out of this. Each "theory" (JFK, RFK, Area 51, Odessa Files, UFO's, etc.) is a legitimate theory which has been proposed elsewhere. The magic here is that the author has prepared, in comic book format, a synopsis of each theory. In ten minutes, you can get a very complete overview of any conspiracy theory out there. If you want more, there's a conveniant bibliography at the end, which I myself have consulted numerous times. I cannot begin to tell you how useful this book is, nor how quickly you can get a clear understanding of what's being said today on almost any conspiracy subject. The comic format is entertaining and very readable.....which is understandable, since the author has also been a top comic book writer for over twenty years now, I think, having authored Batman and some of the other better titles out there. Once again: easy to read, and a fantastic overview of various subjects which you can then find more information on in the bibliography. I STRONGLY recommend this book to anyone even remotely interested in conspiracy theory.
Doug Moench has really produced a very fine, entertaining, thought-provoking, not overly fantastic survey of that hot topic, conspiracy theories. The various artists definitely help out too, providing alternately sinister and amusing visual accompaniment to the narrative. Some of the more off-the-wall entries focus on Jim Morrison's perhaps faked death and his subsequent intelligence activities (!), the supposedly faked moon landing, and Robert Lazar's tall tales about flying saucers at secret air force bases in Nevada. More sinister, and credible, theories focus on various assassinations and government coverups from the Cold War era, including the Kennedy assassinations, CIA ties to former Nazis, and various LSD/mind control experiments. Moench knowingly mixes the outlandish and hilarious with darker stuff that we don't want to believe, but that the reader starts to think after a while could have some truth to it after all. Easily the best entry in the Paradox Press "big book" series in terms of entertainment value, and it also deserves credit for (fairly) seriously surveying this fascinating material, some of which should be more openly discussed. Read it with the lights on.
Man! Paranoid fantasies don't come any weirder than this book. I've never seen a collection of conspiracy theories and revelations anywhere near this in scope and presentation. Presented in traditional comics format by a variety of artists, we're on a guided tour with a mysterious man in black specs who walks us through the Kennedy and King assasinations, UFOS, the founding of America by the Freemasons and any number of mysterious deaths of witnesses for any of the above. Fascinatng! This is enough conspiracy theory for another 20 years of X-files. Great job to Doug Moench and his art team!
Comic strip depictions of most of the popular fields of debate over what is and isn't real. The JFK/RFK/MLK assassinations, lunar missions, the "pyramids" on Mars, UFO's and the USAF, the mysteries around Jim Morrison's death, Masonic memberships, globalist conspiracy plots, the gang's all here, folks! This book will throw a fresh monkey wrench into the gears of your mind. Just ignore that man on the grassy knoll and those black helicopters hovering over your house and buy this book!
Awesome. You'd be surprised at how effective presenting the conspiracies in comic book form makes it a quick and fascinating read.Oh, and did I say "horrifying"! Some of the best explanations of the RFK, JFK and King assassinations I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot. I definitely had a chill after reading some of them because they make a lot of sense.This could be the companion book to Mel Gibson's character in "Conspiracy Theory." Or the X-Files.Great stuff and an occasional comic tone that hits at just the right time.Highest recommendation. More serious than you think. You will definitely start re-thinking a bunch of things. I'm getting the other books in the series.
If you don't believe, buy it and read it. If you DO believe, buy it and read it anyway. There's stuff you didn't know. Brilliant from concept to execution and one of the best and most important books I've ever read. Check out its companion piece, which may be even better: The Big Book of the Unexplained.
It's a conspiracy to get us to buy one more conspiracy book. Seriously, I love the book. It's fun, scary and informative in a comic book styled tome. "Just 'cause you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to getcha". Get the book and see why there is ample reason to be. :)
What a fun book to read! For all conspiracy theory nuts..don't miss this one! Jam packed with theories and done in great comic book format, just simply the best!
