A psychedelic sci-fi romp as strangely gorgeous as it is bizarrely opaque.

I love it and that Jodorowsky and Moebius came together to make the explosion of ideas. I just wish I loved it as much as I love the idea of it.

Somewhere in here is a story. Fortunately the artwork makes it a far more interesting ride.
