The Incal

Jodorowsky is a visionary, but a cheap one. ("technopope" indeed!) While Moebius is cheap in the good sense: quick, democratic, direct. AJ's writing really drags this down. Even so, there's a lot of "The Fifth Element" and "Idiocracy" in it: camp, ham futurism.

Reading this after Transmetropolitan and The Filth makes its wild whimsies seem tame though.

(Quibble: I can't stand AJ's exclamation marks. Average of 8 per page here. I assume his mind is one big !)

I have literally no idea what the hell I just read was, except it was obviously written by a dude in the 80s who thought adding techno- and meta- to the beginning of every other word made some kind of sense.

JODO!!! Amazing story and writing, wonderful art by Moebius.

This is quite a psychedelic, spiritual tale, an acquired taste I would say, but if you know and love Jodorowsky this is it!

This work of art not only helped sequential art be taken serious but inspired a lot of the sci fi thy came after.

THE INCAL VOL. 2: THE EPIC JOURNEY continues the adventure of John Difool, illustrated by Mœbius, written by Alexandro Jodorowsky and with updated colors by Valérie Beltran! Internationally acclaimed illustrator and film designer for Alien, The Abyss and The Fifth Element, Mœbius influenced a generation of readers and artists with THE INCAL and countless other works. John Difool, a low-class detective in a degenerate world, found his life turned upside down when he discovered an ancient artifact called "The Incal." Now he travels across the cosmos with his pet concrete bird Deepo and the universe's greatest warrior, the Metabaron, racing against time to keep The Great Darkness from unleashing destruction upon infinite galaxies.
