The Hippie Hunter: A Graphic Novel

Blending historical fiction, crime noir and conspiracy theories The Hippie Hunter is a fictionalized account of the private investigation by Colonel Paul Tate (Sharon Tate’s father) into the Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969 Los Angeles. For four months the retired Army Colonel assumed the identity of a hippie and prowled the counterculture underground from Laurel Canyon to Haight Ashbury in the hunt for his daughter’s killers. On this hallucinatory odyssey he encounters acid gurus, movie stars, mobsters and government agents that soon have him questioning reality itself. Hand illustrated in black and white with splashes of psychedelic color and using news media from the era, artist Sascha Ciezata crafts an acid-soaked epic that will leave you with flashbacks long after you’ve finished reading.
