Description - Lab U.s.a. by Kevin C. Pyle
'Lab USA is to comics what C-Span is to network television. If you are looking to escape into an entertaining fantasy world, this is not the comic for you. If you harbor suspicions that the powerful are committing human rights atrocities and are getting away with murder, then this collection reveals the when and where. A docucomic that reveals bad science, in the language of great art.' -- Sue Coe, author of Dead Meat 'The release of Lab USA is a moment in the annals of true horror. Kevin Pyle has broken a communications barrier by making a concise and accurate visual narrative of how brutality and racism have been dressed in the respectable silk of scientific research. These illuminated documents vividly display the powerlessness of US citizens and the intellectualized arrogance of doctors.' -- Bob Helms, editor of Guinea Pig Zero 'Pyle's vivid documentation offers a chilling indictment of a long and despicable history of bogus science inflicted for the most part on poor and working-class people.'
-- Publishers Weekly Electromagnetic mind-control, open-air biological testing in New York City subways, and clandestine dosing of citizens with psychotropic drugs are all part of America's little known, yet well-footnoted history of medical abuse. Lab USA chronicles and illuminates these and many more events through the medium of comics. Employing declassified documents, court testimony, and interviews, Lab USA contrasts objective facts with powerful images to reveal the role of language and authority in the implementation of these dark deeds.
