Let’s take a quick look to see what’s arrived at the Geek Compound.
The Incal Classic Collection
Written by Alexandro Jodorowsky
Art by Moebius
Promo copy:
The international comics MASTERPIECE by Moebius and Jodorowsky collected in an hardcover edition and presented in its original colors. Foreword by Brian Michael Bendis.
Detective John Difool is the key to the Universe after accidentally discovering the mystical Incal artifact.
This magnificent book should be required reading for all science fiction AND graphic novel fans. It really doesn’t get much better than this. More later.
Monsieur Jean: The Singles Theory
by Philippe Dupuy & Charles Berberian
Promo copy:
Monsieur Jean is back in this stand-alone volume published in the English language for the very first time! At once continuing the adventures of our favorite Parisian bachelor and that of his entourage, this beautifully designed two-tone title also further explores the dreams and nostalgia that invariably come with adulthood.
Another classic, full of the European sensibility that cartoonists Dupuy & Berberian (Drawn & Quaterly’s Get a Life, and Maybe Later) do so uniquely well.
Megalex
Written by Alexandro Jodorowsky
Art by Fred Beltran
Promo copy:
On the planet-city of Megalex, urban sprawl and technology consume all, leaving only a few bastions of nature and a mass of drug-addled citizens. That all changes when a clone, known only as the Anomaly, is created and rescued from certain destruction…
Straight from the untamed minds of Alexandro Jodorowsky (THE INCAL, THE METABARONS) and Fred Beltran (PIN-UP GIRLS FROM AROUND THE WORLD) comes an intriguing and highly original Sci-Fi adventure.
Now collected in its entirety, and including both a brand new foreword from artist Fred Beltran and a making-of bonus section.
