FINAL INCAL DLX ED HC

(W) Alejandro Jodorowsky  (A) Moebius, Ladronn

Jodorowsky and Mœbius' internationally bestselling Sci-Fi saga The Incal comes to its phenomenal finale! Visionary storyteller Jodorowsky returns to the epic mythology he created with the late Mœbius over 30 years ago. This volume concludes the spiritual space adventures of everyman, John DiFool, as the universe faces the threat of an all-devouring metallic virus. The limited & numbered book is presented in a slipcase and contains both the original, unfinished After the Incal drawn by Mœbius (1 volume), as well as the complete 3-volume series Final Incal illustrated by Eisner-winning artist Ladrönn (Cable, Hip Flask, Elephantmen).

For all those unfortunate people who have not seen the mind blowing, inspirational and transcendent documentary that is "Jodorowsky's Dune," I first off want to say, "FOOLS!!" quite loudly and then educate your 2nd dimension asses with what humanity was lucky enough to recieve after the project fell through--The Incal. Created by Moebius and Jodorowsky 1981, this series focuses on poor John DiFool, a class 'R' detective who is thrown into an adventure that bends time, space, consciousness and takes the reader to places beyond even the wildest acid trip imaginings. This volume, presented here for the first time ever in English, features the very last cycle of the comic saga with art the indomitable, LADRONN who pumps new life into the darkened city shafts of this desolate future universe of my wildest dreams.

Little by little, XIII has reconstructed most of his life and figured out who he is. With one exception: There is still a gap in his college years, when Jason McLane became Kelly Brian. A gap that may mean the amnesiac adventurer is in fact an Irish terrorist, Seamus O'Neil. This flashback brings us back to Boulder, Colorado, and before that to Northern Ireland, to reveal the last piece of the XIII puzzle, and his final identity

I'm gonna keep it short and sweet this week. Moebius, at age 68, showing that he is better than every other artist in the industry. Because he is.

ONE TRICK RIP OFF HC

(W/A) Paul Pope

Young lovers Tubby and Vim want to escape - escape the mistakes they've made, the lives they've lived, and the dirty city weighing them down. Their plan is simple -all they have to do is rip-off Tubby's pals, the One Tricks - the toughest street gang in LA.
If they pull it off, they're set for life. If not, their lives won't matter much anyway.
What was going to be a smooth, straight-forward heist becomes a fast-paced battle to the death.
From Eisner Award-winning writer/artist PAUL POPE (Batman: Year 100, THB, Heavy Liquid, 100%) and presented for the first time in color by JAMIE GRANT (All-Star Superman). ONE TRICK RIP-OFF/DEEP-CUTS is 288 pages of raw power, of which over 150 pages are comprised of new, rare, and never before seen stories created during POPE's time traveling the world in the '90s.
Included in the "Deep Cuts" section is a bounty of unpublished and rare work POPE did in the '90s, including the legendary "Supertrouble" manga, created for Kodansha in Japan, appearing here in print for the first time.
It's a tour de force of pure, kinetic storytelling that will keep your eyes peeled until the very last page.

Alright boys and girls, bust out your wallets and thank the comic book gods that you can even buy something this awesome, something this rare all in one nicely crafted package! Paul Pope, known recently for his work on Batman Year 100, cut his teeth in the cutthroat industry of Japanese publishing as the only American to ever produce a weekly series for Kodansha with his totally rad, cutie-pie strip "Supertrouble" which is presented here for the first time, along with his inky rendition of L.A.'s slimy underbelly, "One trick Rip Off." Grat for fans of Brandon Graham, James Stokoe, Moebius, Hugo Pratt and anyone looking for supercharged, down and dirty comix!! RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!
