This wonderful book was created in 1983 and released (the following year) in altered form as CRAZY MEN No. 2. Twenty-three years later, it was resurrected and released in its original form.

Intricate Collage Artwork shows ... The Art-Story in Full Page art of a Man who discovers Invisible Force Beams that are shooting from Everywhere. They effect different creatures in different ways. Some Landscapes are brought to life. Images are projected from nowhere. It's like Living in a Dream World ... Constructed Entirely of Thought. MR: eBay item description

In the CRAZY MEN No. 2 version, the pages are in somewhat different order, and various bizarre creatures (primordial Crazy Men, as it were) have been collaged over the original images. While a few panels are identical in both versions, the printing is far superior in INVISIBLE FORCES. The INVISIBLE FORCES story is also quite wonderful. This is the cosmic-psychedelic side of MICHAEL RODEN at its best. Highly recommended!

Oh, and collectors should be aware that there are a number of variants of this wonderful comix in that it was printed on various colors of card stock.
