An encounter with a dying mutant ends with him receiving a mysterious object of unknown power called The Incal. Hired for a ridiculous sum to escort an Aristo on a pub crawl and ensure she makes it home by midnight, he ends up fleeing for his life into the sewers when things go wrong. John DiFool is a class-B licensed private investigator. They seem to be spurring each other to new heights, and the result is a heady cocktail indeed. What makes it sing is the synergy between Moebius’ art and Jodorowsky’s story. This is your basic “ordinary guy caught up in events beyond his comprehension” tale. :) So cool.Īfter rereading this for the first time in many years, I'm bumping my rating from three to four stars. Just try to figure it out for yourself and above all, ENJOY THE RIDE. Think about a god-like entity called the Incal doing trippy things inside this guy, think about body factories, super tall towers with acid at the bottom, wolf-men, angelic (evil) nobles, cloning presidents, spaceships, and Shadow Eggs. I'm reminded of Heavy Metal meets Lynch's Dune with Zardos and an incompetent detective getting thrown into a space-opera revolution.
Add trippy writing and VERY imaginative settings and KEEP the WEIRD coming! :) Okay, so this comic came out in 1981 and it's just as good now as it was back then. The guy who almost got Bowie to play Feyd in an earlier version of Dune before Lynch! The guy who got H R Geiger to make all that trippy art pieces for the sets reused later on Lynch's 1984 version. For any of ya'll who are familiar with Jodorowky of that documentary called Jodorowsky's Dune, this is the same guy.
