Moebius Library: The Major - Jean Moebius Giraud

A psychedelic, sequential romp created by legendary comics master Moebius between 1997 and 2009, following a production principle that embraced graphic spontaneity and improvisation. \nThe 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 Moebius 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! \n \nTranslated by Diana Schutz, with lettering by Adam Pruett. \nA psychedelic, sequential romp created by legendary comics master Moebius between 1997 and 2009, following a production principle that embraced graphic spontaneity and improvisation. \n \nThe 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 Moebius series.
