This is the first example to ever appear in our auction and is likely to be the last copy of this incredibly scarce, low print run, minimal distribution Portland poster you'll encounter! Robert Anton Wilson co-wrote (with Robert Shea) the internationally infamous & notorious "The Illuminatus Trilogy" of books, as well as many other mind blowing & "reality tunnel" stretching, dangerously psychoactive books. Wilson was also a good friend of Timothy Leary and a myriad of other cognoscenti of consciousness.
