DIE GEHEIMNISSE DES INCAL

With their six-volume cycle John Difool, the Chilean author Alexandro Jodorowsky and the French star illustrator Jean Giraud alias Moebius created a graphic novel that broke all previous boundaries of comic art and opened new ones for graphic literature. In this 1st volume, dimensions opened up. John Difool is a picaresque novel, a play on paper, a fast-paced crime novel, a science fiction epic and an esoteric parable all in one, but above all a brilliant story full of magic and humor and a visual journey through the mysteries of the subconscious.

The story is set in the dystopian capital city of an insignificant planet in a human-dominated galactic empire, wherein the Bergs, aliens who resemble featherless birds and reside in a neighboring galaxy, make up another power bloc. It starts in medias res with Difool thrown from the Suicide Alley to the great acid lake below by a masked group, luckily saved by a police cruiser. During the questioning he denies that he received the Light Incal, a crystal of enormous and infinite powers (it guides and protects those who believe in it) from a dying Berg.
