L'Incal
Der Incal, Bd. 6: In Nächster Nähe
Nachdem Moebius Mitte der 1970er im Magazin Métal Hurlant mit luftigen SF-Storys die Welt der Comics auf links gekrempelt hatte, legte er, gemeinsam mit dem visionären Autor Jodorowsky, in den 80ern mit dem Incal-Zyklus ein legendäres Meisterwerk vor. Die Geschichte des John Difool und seines Betonvogels Dipo, die in eine Verschwörung von galaktischen Dimensionen verwickelt werden, wurde praktisch aus dem Stand zum Klassiker.
Jetzt wird dieser sechsbändige Zyklus endlich wieder in der ursprünglichen, klassischen Kolorierung vorgelegt, ergänzt um umfangreiches Bonus-Material.
Die definitive Ausgabe des Science-Fiction-Meilensteins!

Final instalment, which I ended up enjoying more than the previous ones. The wild ride carries on and reaches a kind of resolution, which was a nice surprise.
I don’t know what I expected from this series, but the nonsensical aspect of it made it very hard for me to connect. On one hand, we have the ‘absurd’ of the feel and tone, and then on the other we have allusions to Tarot cards, fate, philosophies, and what not! The gap between these two is shocking, even if I’m pretty sure it was consciously done.
Moebius’s art however is a different thing, and one that I could appreciate from the start. Again, it surprises. Not so much in its style since I’ve seen echoes of it in many comics and films, but rather in the inconsistencies of representations, especially of John DiFool. I didn’t exactly like the many stereotypical elements but these were counterbalanced by other great graphics, from universes and ‘constructions’ (ships, buildings, etc.), to the vision mixing.
In the end, I find myself a little at a loss between the format and the content. I didn’t enjoy this and yet I can see its worth. I’ve got a feeling I’m going to need to re-read the whole series, and maybe, this time knowing what I am in for, it will work better...

It's all over the place sometimes, but I enjoyed the whole series. I gave this one a five stars for the ending, Orh is simply beautiful!

Bella conclusione di una saga folle e irriverente. Non so se annoverarla tra i classici del fumetto sia corretto ma non sfigura davanti ad altre opere del genere.

I am pretty ambivalent about the whole experience and glad to be done with it. I think I do not like John DiFool much. I pretty much agree with those 78 million.... What a wanker.
The twist at the end was neat and there were some nice panels towards the end.
But mostly I felt very meh and couldn‘t wait to get to the end. The resolution of the storyline was underwhelming. This felt a bit like smoking too much weed and listening to Ravi Shankar‘s Best Of.
Definitely not picking up more of this. Yes, it‘s a classic. And if you are a completionist, have a look at it for the sake of rounding off your experience of European graphic novels. Other than that maybe read the first volume and don‘t bother with the rest.

Με το καλοκαίρι να σιγοσβήνει τελείωσα και την αυγουστιατική συντροφιά μου, δηλαδή το εξάτομο πρώτο μέρος της πολυθρύλητης saga του Jodorowsky.
Με εξαίρεση τον πρώτο τόμο που πραγματικά είναι άψογος σεναριακά και μαγευτικός ως προς την γραφική εκτέλεση (ο πολύς Moebius μας απογειώνει!) η ιστορία στο σύνολό της με άφησε μάλλον αδιάφορο. Το κάπως παρδαλό κράμα new age υπερβατισμού - χίπικου εσωτερισμού, επιστημονικής φαντασίας, και φτηνών κωμικών κλισέ δεν στάθηκε ικανό να σώσει μια γόνιμη κεντρική ιδέα που πολύ απλά "κάνει κοιλιά" στην εκτέλεσή της.
Είμαι σχεδόν βέβαιος ότι εάν δεν υπήρχε ο Moebius η ιστορία θα είχε περάσει μάλλον απαρατήρητη (όπως άλλωστε και άλλες τέτοιες απόπειρες του Jodorowsky με άλλους σχεδιαστές). Ωστόσο ακόμα και στα πιο βαρετά σημεία των 6 τόμων ένα ολοσέλιδο πάνελ μπορεί να σου κόψει την ανάσα ή να σε κάνει να παρατηρείς τις λεπτομέρειες για πολλή ώρα. Και τουλάχιστον για τα 2 πρώτα albums οι περιπέτειες του John Difool στον δυστοπικό, ψυχεδελικό σκουπιδόποτο που θα είναι το μέλλον της ανθρωπότητας το μπερδεμένο αφηγηματικό κουβάρι είναι προκλητικά ελκυστικό!
Γενικά δύσκολο να αγαπάς την γαλλόφωνη σχολή των bande dessines /graphic novels και να μην καταπιαστείς με το Incal κάποια στιγμή.
Ισως και να είμαι υπερβολικά αυστηρός λόγω πολύ υψηλών προσδοκίων κατά την έναρξη της ανάγνωσης και δεδομένης της αγάπης που τρέφω για το κινηματογραφικό έργο του Jodorowsky. Μάλλον θα επιστρέψω για μια δεύτερη ανάγνωση και αφού πρώτα τελειώσω και τα prequels και sequels που εκδόθηκαν μετά από αυτήν τη πρώτη συλλογή.
Για όσους ενδιαφερονται, το Incal κυκλοφορεί σε νέα remastered έκδοση τόσο στα γαλλικά όσο και στα αγγλικά όπου και αποκαθίστανται ψηφιακά τα "αυθεντικά" χρώματα της πρώτης έκδοσης.

The final volume of The Incal becomes philosophical again, and then surprisingly takes a hard swerve to religion. Somehow, it all fits, really tying together everything that came before and offering an ending that at the same time is conclusive and haunting.
I look forward to reading the other stories in this universe.

Trop perché pour moi

This last episode, supposedly the second part of a two-parter, is something of a two-parter itself.
The first half is a hilarious vision of nightmare, an entire world in the image of the ultimate loser, John Difool. Moebius excels in the depiction of urban decay and random crowds.
The second part is a rather dull mystical light show reminiscent of the end of 2001, the movie.
The whole saga ends with a bizarre mix of religious ecstasy and condemnation of religion. On planet Difool, the entire population hates its creator, and devotion to divinity only brings a fiery death for all the companions except Difool himself who is condemned to eternal repetition of the whole saga. This doesn’t quite sell the notion of a renewed creator ... all that crackpot mysticism has gone to pot.
There are spin-offs to this series available on Kindle. I might have to check them out.

I don't really get the ending. Or rather: I think this is not the ending these books deserve. Though don't get me wrong: all the 6 Volumes of the Incal are still an absolute classic and worth reading and the ending will stick with you for a long, long time making you come back and re-read it years after (and buy all the books in the shiny new edition), as it happened to me.
February 4, 2014
The serie as a whole is a must-read but the ending is just a little too much out there for me.
Still if you consider yourself a fan of European comics you have to read The Incal so I have to recommend this.

Maravilhoso para lá de palavras. Completo e profundo e intemporal.
JDF e o seu fiel Deepo chegam ao universo Berg onde são deixados entrar por perceberem que ele é um Jidovo. Esta denominação significa que a criação pela protorainha gerou 78 bilhões de John difools que nasceram revoltados porque a mãe está cheia de ódio pelo JDF. Então ele chega a uma sociedade zangada e revoltada criada à sua imagem, e que não permitiu um final honroso à antiga raça Berg, com a imagem de papagaios. E quando descobrem JDF e o confirmam como o proto pai através do umbigo imediatamente condenado a ser castrado. Mas antes descobriu a raça dos mutantes do lixo, do qual Gorgo o sujo esteve quase a ser o vencedor da cerimónia da fecundação , a limparem as cascas dos ovos dos Jidovos lançados pela proto rainha sempre nascidos no ódio e na raiva. Por esta razão nenhum dos Bergs da raça de ouro quer ouvir as profecias de JDF de que faltam poucas horas para a treva invadir tudo e é importante os Bergs entrarem no sonho Teta.
Mas vai ser Deepo que vai salvar JDF pois vão voar até ao cone e explicar à proto rainha que o que ela amou em JDF foi a luz dele que vinha do Incal por isso não amou nem odiou JDF. E é com essa revelação que a proto rainha vai pedir desculpa num ato de contrição civilizacional de deusa mãe criadora e dizer que os ama a todos e JDF coloca-os em sonho Teta.
JDF volta com Deepo ao local onde se reúnem as crianças todas em sonho Teta e agora o Incal tem de voltar para o seu lugar no centro do planeta no coração do sol interno . Para chegarem lá recebem a ajuda dos guardas Arhats que os guiam ao coração sol através do poço que por via do sonho das crianças tem paredes de mármore, rubis e jade. Ao chegar ao final do poço colocam-se nas posições na porta com a nave estrela com a consciência do Incal que vai absorver a energia da consciência do sonho da humanidade mergulhada no sono Teta. A nave estrela integra a porta e fica animada pela energia prânica (de vida ) de todos os sonhadores Teta das duas galáxias. Aí entram na ausência de conhecimento do tempo e do espaço , dentro do círculo do pesadelo alimentado pela treva . A treva começa aí a alimentar os monstros individuais para se saciar com os seus terrores. E qual maravilha quando vemos que é um JDF que diz não ter direito a pesadelo , diz ao Incal “sou o teu canal ! Fala através de mim!” O JDF incalizado diz “o horror esconde uma mensagem positiva! Um pesadelo e uma prenda mascarada!”. Para o meta barão diz que na orelha de ferro restabelece-se a beleza do som e da escuta interior. Para Tanatah diz que a sua violência criminosa é energia criadora primordial . Para Kill a bestialidade dele torna-se senhora do real. Para Solune o seu envelhecimento mórbido é a passagem do efémero individual à totalidade eterna bem como para Animah a sua putrefação como semente de vida nova . E Deepo espalha o seu sangue para alimentar o mundo. Alegorias maravilhosas.
Ao passarem a prova do pesadelo passam ao segundo círculo onde o Incal lhes pede a sua energia toda e passarem ao desconhecido do sonho Daath. Na tentativa de investida da treva a parte noturna do Incal entra em rebelião e ele pede a cada um dos nossos heróis para se entregarem e são todos sacrificados numa chama viva enquanto JDF olha desesperado para este sacrifício pois ele não se quer fundir na unidade Incal mas quer ser ele próprio . E com o sacrifício dos seus companheiros vão conseguir romper o núcleo da treva e a nave estrela sofre a última mutação para a transparência total com JDF no seu interior . E qual a maravilha quando vemos que o interior do núcleo da treva é luz e a nave diz ao JDF “prepara-te para ser iluminado “ e aí é a prancha de bd mais bela para mim com a figura do Deus da luz antiga, a entidade enviada para criar aquele tempo e espaço e que os atraiu para ali desde o início . E a treva era a força negativa acumulada no coração humano e que ocultou essa luz mas essa entidade é tanto treva como luz. E o Incal substitui o Deus antigo como o criador do novo universo, ou seja, o novo tempo. E John Difool é a testemunha eterna , a gota que nunca se funde no oceano . E a última mensagem do Incal para John Difool é que ele tem de recomeçar e aprender a recordar e tudo regressa ao início com John a cair na cidade poço em direção ao lago de ácido e a dizer “recordo-me “.
Lindo, épico , com esperança , é a obra primeira que adoro ler e reler .

Todo nos trajo aquí. No esperaba que iba a terminar así, pero fue interesante. Lo único que puedo sacar de esta serie fue la construcción mundial y el manejo de conceptos ficticios y que no importa que tan locas sean tus ideas, puedes ponerlas en el papel sin miedo.
Los elementos narrativos eran pobres. Tanto que se habla de Jodorowsky para estar tan decepcionado como ahora. Muchas conversaciones desde alejamientos de enfoque extremadamente amplios me dejaron preguntándome varias veces que dice quien.
El dibujo de Moebius no tiene igual, fue lo que me mantuvo pasando las páginas, aunque a veces este dibujo fue contaminado por excesivas burbujas de diálogo.
El final, aunque me pareció interesante, no me llevó a ninguna parte. Al final de cada historia, el escritor debe darte a reflexionar en algo, pero solo pensé en lo inteligente que se sintió Jodorowsky al terminarlo. Sé que hay más Incal que leer, pero no me voy a molestar. No creo que vaya a leer algo más de Jodorowsky después de esto.

Very enjoyable grand finale of a mad journey!
This last volume of Incal is one the best ones for sure. At last, the story makes some sort of sense and I caught myself muttering ‘oh, so this is what all of this was about’. The conclusion of the tale is a relatively skillful play on the cliches: personal encounter with a Jungian union of opposites embodied in a bearded astral creator, and the triumph of the unassuming protagonist at the very last moment. The ending itself has also a nice little twist that I did not see coming.
Though it was fun reading through the 6 parts of the Incal, I think I will wait a good while before considering any of the many spin offs of this story. At this stage, I can see some of the symbolic meaning of the different ideas and characters. Still, the impression I had from the very start remains: imaginatively funny elements here live within a scope of a fairly standard narrative.
Overall, I get why some people think this is a classic science fiction comic. If you have started, continue. If you are unsure whether to begin reading Incal, I would suggest to start with stronger titles such as The 6 Voyages of Lone Sloane or the World of Edena, and leave this one for the dessert.

El Incal, a pesar de no contar con un guión muy sólido y un ritmo narrativo que se siente a veces algo obtuso y acelerado, logra involucrarte en una narrativa futurista surrealista que destaca mucho por su arte.
A través del dibujo y sobretodo, los colores, logra transmitir una experiencia única al lector, la cual seguro, se presenta como algo novedoso a la narrativa clásica de ciencia ficción.

Moebius classic
The Kindle version of this fantastic graphic novel is amazing. The guided and zoomable cells really are well done. My favorite view is turning vertical scroll on. This story is so multi layered. Jodorowsky is an amazing talent.

There's no difool like a repeating difool?
Excellent artwork from the era of heavy metal. John difool sees 78 billion relatives. God retires, and Darkness is defeated before our eyes.

This was epic. Really epic. I am in love with the style and epic scale... And I wondering what you can see... After Incal?

I believe the ending will be different next time I read it, because I will be different upon the next read-through.

Was going to start it over but since "before the Incal" exists, I picked that up before doing so!

What an amazing, mind bending, end to a story.
Beginning to end, eh?
The name John Difool suits this character a lot.
