John Difool, a low-class detective in a degenerate dystopian world, finds his life turned upside down when he discovers an ancient, mystical artifact called "The Incal." Difool’s adventures will bring him into conflict with the galaxy’s greatest warrior, the Metabaron, and will pit him against the awesome powers of the Technopope. These encounters and many more make up a tale of comic and cosmic proportions that has Difool fighting for not only his very survival, but also the survival of the entire universe. Review: Adventures with a concrete seagull - There's no denying that this is an epic tale - a classic struggle between good and evil and all grey areas inbetween. There are clear parallels with Jodorowsky's 'Holy Mountain' (the lowlife as saviour, the power struggles, the psychedelic harmonising with the universe) and also his aborted take on Frank Herbert's 'Dune' with the labyrinthine heirarchy of various clans and special powers. The scope is enormous - from giant psychic jellyfish, evil sun-enveloping black eggs and seas of acid to an underground trash universe, a robotic president/assassin patched into the world's TV networks and a hermaphrodite emperor/ess. It really is an immense undertaking. Moebius' art is spectacular - the colours and movement of the human form are second to none. However, for the uninitiated, like Jodorowsky's films, it is often easier to admire than love. I found my initial attachment to antihero John Difool deteriorated slightly through the tale as he developed into more of a superbeing and the arc of the story became more intergalactic in scale rather than the trials and tribulations of a reluctant hero. These are minor niggles though for what is a wildly entertaining and immersive read and is so beautifully presented in a hefty hardback tome. Essential reading. Review: The high watermark of the graphic novel - When I was little in the early to mid 80’s the BBC showed a animated sci-fi film that blew my tiny mind and made me cry. For 20 years it stayed in my mind and I kept trying to find out what the hell it was. It turns out it was called ‘Les Maîtres du temps’ (or Masters of Time) and it was animated by the legendary French artist Moeibus (Jean Giraud) So when I walked into my library one day and this book was on the display stand in the entrance I snatched it up immediately. I had never heard of it before but seeing ‘Moeibus’ left me in no doubt that I had to read it. It turns out that not only is this a book by one of my favorite artists but it is regarded as one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. I can see why – for a start it’s illustrated by one of the all-time great illustrators (it’s unfathomable how amazing his imagination is) so the art is stunning. As for the story, well – it is complex, convoluted, spiritual, messy, funny – I don’t quite understand the term ‘Space Opera’ but could see it being a fitting description. All the major themes of life are contained in these pages as well as an ongoing spiritual journey about the meaning of existence. This is truly an epic book full of scope and depth and must be pretty much the high watermark of the graphic novel. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 60,862 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 773 in Horror Graphic Novels (Books) 1,058 in Crime & Mystery Graphic Novels 10,764 in Science Fiction & Fantasy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,958 Reviews | ## Images ![The Incal: by Alexandro Jodorowsky - Moebius - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71X2q8KTidL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adventures with a concrete seagull *by T***Q on 13 December 2011* There's no denying that this is an epic tale - a classic struggle between good and evil and all grey areas inbetween.
