The brainchild of author and artist John Hopkins, LOST CACTUS is the codename of a secret research base in the far reaches of the American Southwest. The eponymous comic strip chronicles the trials and travails of Doc, an ageless and enigmatic scientist working hand-in-glove with The Powers That Be and a cadre of alien advisers on a sea change of brain-meltingly amazing discoveries and inventions meted out to an unsuspecting human civilization too wrapped up in their daily lives to consider what’s happening out there beyond common knowledge.

Meanwhile, two of Doc’s creations, Bentley Bee and Ty the Dinosaur, lead a comical cast of genetic misfits on far-out misadventures ripped from urban legends and conspiracy theories, resulting in chaos, bedlam, and hysterical larks illustrated in full-color classic comic strips juxtaposed between sci-fi short stories, humorous essays, artist liner notes, thumbnails, sketches, character designs, and a gallery of original artwork packed within this anthology.

Enjoy your trip to LOST CACTUS.
