Best remembered by mainstream science as John Whiteside Parsons, inventor of the solid fuel that helped make space travel possible, occultists know Jack Parsons as a devoted Thelemite, chosen by Aleister Crowley to lead the Ordo Templi Orientis’ Agape Lodge in California in the early forties.
The comic, titled “The Marvel: A Biography of Jack Parsons“, is written by Richard Carbonneau and illustrated by Robin Simon. The story follows Parsons’ life closely, beginning with his childhood and adolescence, carrying through to adulthood.
A new essay by Parsons was published by Teitan Press in June, also reproducing “Freedom is a Two Edged Sword” in Three Essays on Freedom, and now a new biographical comic. The beginnings of a Parsons revival?

Parsons was the subject of another comic too - many years ago… I’ve tried to track down a copy, but haven’t had any luck.

Thanks for reading! Just fyi, that comic cover to which you linked is not for an actual comic. It was a piece of art done for Make Magazine, if I’m not mistaken.
