I Am Legend (45/54) - Author signed extract: "THE OMEGA MAN — A Modern Allegory of Love and Plague" from the Journal of Orgonomy (1980)


You never know exactly what you'll find searching on eBay. Several years ago, this Omega Man-associated item caught my eye. 

It's a saddle-stitched extract of an article published in the Journal of Orgonomy titled "The Omega Man — A Modern Allegory of Love and Plague" by John M. Bell. What made it even more interesting was the fact that it was inscribed by the author. 


According to orgonomy.org, Orgonomy is the natural science of orgone energy and its functions. "This energy obeys certain laws, and Wilhelm Reich described the functions of the energy and its effects very specifically."

Um, okay? So not exactly, "'Biowar Pathology Parameters in Urban and Semi-urban Environment,' Journal of Military Medicine, June, 1974, 'Incremental Effects Countermeasures to Toxic Agents in Liquid Systems Delivery' Microbiological Letters,' January, 1975." (And shame on you if you don't get the reference!)

If you're intrigued, as I was, I invite you to read the article, which is available in its entirety here!


Check back next week for another item from the I Am Legend Archive.
