Plot
In the early 1960s Professor Adam Laar tested his own experimental brand of LSD on himself, releasing superhuman powers. He assembled a group of superpowered hippies but the dark side of the era emerged in the form of a Charles Manson figure and a final battle ensued.
Publication
The original run was:
- Storming Heaven (with Gordon Rennie and Frazer Irving, in 2000 AD prog 2002 & #1273-1278, 2001-2002)
It will be collected in a single volume (with other stories):
- Storming Heaven: The Frazer Irving Collection (Rebellion Developments, 144 pages, January 2007, ISBN 1-904265-77-4)
Reception
Then editor Andy Diggle had a policy to supercharge strips so they moved along faster than usual and packed more into each instalment. However, with Storming Heaven, this resulted in an overly hurried story that never lived up to its potential.[1]
