LA CASTE DES META-BARONS

As part of the La Caste des Méta-Barons book series by Alejandro Jodorowsky & Juan Giménez, this great space opera saga tells us, generation by generation, the rise of a dynasty of warriors from which descends the Meta-Baron, mythical character of the Incal. A work of unparalleled magnitude, La Caste des Méta-barons is one of the monuments of science fiction comics. The Meta-Baron is one of the secondary characters of the Incal. He comes from a line of powerful warriors with a dense genealogy and a complex code of honor. Composed like a "galactic opera", each volume of the Caste des Méta-Barons retraces the story of an ancestor of the baron. A cruel tradition lives on in the caste: the murder of the father. In this sixth volume, Alexandro Jodorowsky and Juan Gimenez stage Melmoth, the steel-headed baron. When he was young, he was beheaded by his father and then he murdered him and his mother before meeting Doña Vicenta Gabriela de Rokha, whose father he also killed. Resuscitated, this man has in mind only to rape his daughter. Loyal robots Lothar and Tonto introduce comic intermissions into this "archaic, futuristic, baroque and tragic" universe. Out of Print.
