About book El Incal: Integral (1988)

An odyssey that starts as a simple detective mission and ends up being a spacetime quest to save the cosmos. Moebius' drawings are immaculate throughout, both when dealing with a sprawling metropolis or when traversing the edge of reality itself. Jodorowsky has crafted a story that is straightforward (in the save-the-universe-from-evil kind of way), but still has enough twists and turns to remain interesting while it constantly crescents in scope towards the grand finale. The Incal is a beautifully illustrated sci-fi adventure starring perpetual asshole John DiFool. It wasn’t quite as deep as I was expecting it to me, then it got abruptly metaphysical at the end, but it was a fun journey and a compelling introduction to the creator’s rich ‘Jodoverse’. This edition has the original colouring, which I much prefer, and ends with the short story Solune’s Origin which is funny and revealing. Excellent at times but not a life-changer: 3 1/2.
