The CIA sends three elite operatives to Havana. Their mission, codenamed “Operation Good Times,” was to humiliate Fidel during a live television broadcast by dosing him with LSD and making his beard fall out. One of the agents, "Bob", bears the permanent scars of MKULTRA. Bob was kept inside a sensory deprivation tank for so long that he can hardly contain himself from blowing his cover to the first pretty lady he sees at a bar. Back home, Doctor Sidney Gottlieb, the mad mastermind behind MKULTRA, is attempting to regain control of Bob by using the latest technological advancements at his disposal: the satellite, radio waves, and bioactive implants created for such missions placed inside the agents’ brains. The book portrays many of the failed, and often humorous, attempts to infiltrate Castro’s inner circle to assassinate or publicly humiliate the communist dictator. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Killing Castro (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
