Sigmund Freud in the Uncanny Realm of the Unconscious!

via Mind Hacks
This is the most beautifully mad comic I've read in quite some time. Sigmund Freud, in the motif of 1950s sci fi with a hefty dose of Kirby at his most bizarre, struggles with the death urge in the zone of repression. Excuse me... "ALONE IN THE ZONE OF REPRESSION, SIGMUND FREUD FIGHTS AN ENEMY HE CANNOT SEE!" It's such a strange concept executed so adeptly that it truly needs to be seen to be believed.

I was essentially unfamiliar with the work of Hans Rickheit until being introduced to this comic. Chrome Fetus Comics contains more of his work and it's as haunting as it is poetic. Truly down-the-rabbit-hole beautiful.
