Storm Thorgerson’s image for the cover of The Mars Volta's 2003 record Deloused In The Comatorium is one of a series of twenty prints, each in an edition of twenty known as the 2020 Series. Storm describes for us how this image came about . . .

"Deloused in the Comatorium contained a set of songs about their close friend, artistic mentor and wild man Julio, who as a result of numerous misadventures and over indulgences, spent much time in hospital, slipping in and out of a coma. This accounts for the hospital setting for our design.

In his unconscious state The Mars Volta imagined that their friend was being pulled down by his artistic demons or imaginary figures called Tremulants, from whose clutches he was continually trying to escape - when successful he surfaced briefly into consciousness . The light from his mouth is the cry for help, a shaft of daylight piercing his twilight gloom.
