Barry Windsor-Smith: OPUS 2, due in June of 2000, is the much-anticipated follow up volume to the highly successful BWS:OPUS Volume 1, published by Fantagraphics books in August of 1999. At over 200 pages, OPUS 2 presents even more rare, unpublished, and classic BWS art from throughout his 33 year career, culled from his personal files.
And in "Time Rise 2", he continues his gripping narrative of the extraordinary paranormal events that overwhelmed him in the fateful summer of 1973, following his experiences with precognition and the "Endless Black Waves of Time", as recounted in "Time Rise" in OPUS 1. Windsor-Smith also ventures much further into the exploration of these and subsequent remarkable events, incorporating ideas and theories from a wide spectrum of luminaries in the fields of study of extraordinary, paranormal, noetical and metaphysical phenomena, sweeping the reader along in his dynamic inquiries into the nature of Consciousness, Time, and even Reality itself.
The following pages present a few preview excerpts from OPUS 2, which will be available in its entirety at book stores, amazon.com, comic shops, and directly from Fantagraphics, the publisher, in June 2000. Don't miss it!
