Although I grew up hearing about Moebius, I never actually read any of his works. Well, I did read a couple of Giraud’s XIII and Blueberry... I was therefore very pleased to finally put my hands on this edition.
This first volume starts a wild ride, where many powerful characters are doing their utmost to catch the lowly private investigator Difool (yep) and more importantly The Incal.
This universe reminded me a little of Valerian and Mezieres’s art, which I’m much more familiar with. It’s different but related somehow. After all, Moebius/Giraud and Mezieres are the same age, influenced each other, and both collaborated on creating the look of the Fifth Element. However the feel and the tone veer here toward the absurd. Well, that’s my take on it. Naturally I want to see where it all goes.
Next book next month :0)

Oooo tempting. I’d love to get a French version but it seems quite difficult to get. Might have to go for the English integral. Let me see and I’ll come back to you when I have it :0)
I still have all my comics from when I was a child and teenager, and I’ve been building on it too, the Valerian, for instance, ever so slowly since I don’t often go to a French-speaking country, as I used to for work. Which reminds me I have a couple of series I haven’t read because I was waiting to have it all, like Le Secret du janissaire.
Sadly, I gave awy all my comics from my teenage years.
