Art by Ralph Steadman.
Silkscreen of Burroughs and a bullseye. Burroughs dressed in his khaki battle fatigues and shot at it in 1995. You can see the bullet holes.
"Lost Chapter" (Hunter betting on horse races) by Steadman.

Nice collection. I met both Hunter Thompson and Ralph Steadman on separate occasions.
In the mid-80's I hired HST to do a lecture at my college campus - it was a huge hit and I was able to get helf a dozen books autographed.
In the late 90's, I attended a lecture by Steadman about wine, followed by a special post-lecture dinner and wine tasting with Ralph Steadman. He had just released a book titled "The Grapes of Ralph".
What was really cool is that he autographed the book by dipping his finger in wine and then used his finger to pen his signature. One of my favorite autographed editions.
