The protagonist, an R-rated detective named John Difool, is beaten up and thrown into the well by a gang in order to force him to talk. The story begins in the slums of a great underground city, more precisely in Suicide Alley, so-called because the area provides convenient access to a chasm on the acid sea that dissolves everything where desperate people go to throw themselves among the indifferent looks of the local citizens. The Incal is the perfect synthesis of modern science fiction, Moebius’ bewitching stroke, Jodorowsky’s narrative talent, and South American magical realism, anticipating many of the elements developed by later science fiction works from both a graphic and thematic point of view: Blade Runner, Akira, Alien, The Fifth Element, all in some way are indebted to this dreamlike and revolutionary work.

The Incal is a graphic novel by Moebius and Alejandro Jodorowsky written between 19, an epic that mixes skillfully elements of science fiction, grotesque, esoteric, and social criticism. The Incal by Jodorowsky & Moebius is a bizarre and visionary Space Opera, Review Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window).Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window).Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window).Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window).Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window).Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window).Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window).
