MOEBIUS LIBRARY The Major

In English for the first time. A psychedelic, sequential romp created by legendary comics master Moebius between 1997 and 2009. The lead character of this pseudo-story, Major Grubert, evolves in a humorous yet philosophical manner, echoing how Moebius’s creations are treated in the Inside Mœbius series. Join the Major on his last trip to the nebula of The Airtight Garage, where Moebius rules as the playful Trickster of legend. What begins as a comical jaunt into unusually profound philosophical questions regarding the nature of existence, eventually winds up as a penetrating examination of the relationship between the author and his creation, the latter of whom must necessarily suffer at the heartless whim of his creator, despite the Major’s passionate desire for real life -- and even freedom -- beyond these comics! Some black and white, but mostly in full color. "In this tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, the Major is a multilayered character whose complexity rivals that of any three-dimensional creature and whose gut-wrenching heartbreak is one of the saddest stories ever told by Moebius throughout the length of his stellar career as an artist." - Diana Schutz, translator and Dark Horse editor
