Měsíční tvář je pro mě jeden z nejlepších komiksů od Joda. Svůj nazaměnitelný otisk v něm zanechali jak Jodo, tak i Boucq. Není se ani čemu divit, vzhledem ke způsobu, jakým ho ti dva tvořili. Hrozně mě bavilo ho číst. Bavilo mě, jak hlavní hrdina všemi nástrahami, těžkostmi a dokonce i mučením prochází se svým bezelstným úsměvem. Ten jeho optimismus je nakažlivý. Celý ten komiks má úžasnou kresbou, úžasnou a pro mě uchopitelnou fantazii a je vtipný. Je teda pravda, že konec jsem úplně nepobral, ale zas tak moc mě to tady netrápí.

Peace and love, huh? Čudno, uznemirujuće, lijepo, sretno i tužno.

Originálny svet, s ktorým mohol prísť len Jodo a predsa tak dlho nechodil. Ostrovný štátik zalievaný vlnami tsunami, revolúcie, diktátorom bývalý predavač vajíčok, skorumpovaní kardináli, transgender rybári, mesiášsky hrbáč z bordelu a jedna z najkrajších kresieb vôbec.

Měsíční Tvář se možná stane mým nejoblíbenějším Jodovým komiksem. Ten používá své typické prvky (metafyzično, groteskní charaktery na obou stranách, nejasný, nebo naprosto bizarní "origin" hrdinů, zvláštní prvky jazyka, svět s jasným řádem), ale velmi lehkým způsobem, který se i velmi příjemně čte.

U konce jsem celou dobu čekal nějaké nepochopitelné rozuzlení, či finální plot twist, ale i takto ukončeno to není na škodu.

Everything I read from this author is bizarre, perverted, and grotesque, And yet i continue to seek out his work and read cover to cover. I want to tell myself it because the art is so amazing, and yet it feels untrue. Maybe we are attracted to horror because we all have some horror in us.

I’ve always wanted to read this book. I love Jodorowsky’s work and was able to get this through ILL via New Orleans. It’s beautifully drawn in part by Moebius and its eloquent story telling match. I really loved it.

Wonderful and weird, Jodorowsky gives us the kind of hero we need. A smiling, happy, hero with magic, and heart, and soul.

This is easily one of the strangest stories I've ever read. Brilliant, disgusting, beautiful, and absolutely bizarre.
