Fear and Loathing in Albuquerque
Ralph Steadman, best known for his work with Hunter S. Thompson, was commissioned by Vince Gilligan to illustrate limited edition Blu-ray covers for all six seasons of Breaking Bad.
Who better to depict a show about drugs than the guy that illustrated Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? Both feature scenes of people freaking out in the desert too. In a way, Walter White and Saul Goodman are kind of like an alternate universe version of Raoul Duke and his attorney Dr. Gonzo. Hey there’s a mashup idea!
Check out the rest of Steadman’s gonzo Breaking Bad box art below:
These limited edition Blu-ray sets will be released in February 2015 exclusively through Zavvi.com for $30 each. Zavvi is the one who stocks…. sorry that was awful. Anyway, you can pre-order them now!
