The art by Mœbius is amazing as expected, but the story is a bit boring. A guy gets a MacGuffin and everyone chases him to get it. To spice things up, it throws in some gratuitous sex and violence instead of character development, so by the end of the story you get the sense that it is happening in a crazy world, but you don't really learn anything about the main character or have any reason to empathize with him.

Glen Farrelly I have heard so much about the genius of Moebius for years. This was the first work of his I have read. I was really disappointed in both the art and the story. But when I compare it to other work from its time, it is impressive. Definitely doesn't age well though.

Diz I agree with you. Storytelling in comics has gotten so much better since then.
