Your Weekend Moment of Psychic Nosebleed Zen: Akira
September 14th, 2007
This example of the psychic nosebleed (and mouth- and earbleed) comes from about halfway through the manga series Akira. Tetsuo is experimenting with drugs that increase psychic powers and has given it to three “volunteers.” Two die almost immediately (an exploding brain will do that two you), but the third survives (but is probably permanently brain damaged).
Scenes are by Katsuhrio Otomo and can be found in Akira #17 (the 1990 version published by Marvel’s Epic Comics imprint )
