Antes del Incal serves as the prequel to “El Incal”, detailing the origins of John Difool and his transformation from a naive young man into the reluctant hero of the galaxy. Set in a dystopian future, the story explores corruption, class struggle, and the search for meaning amid chaos. Alejandro Jodorowsky’s philosophical depth, combined with Zoran Janjetov’s intricate visuals and Yves Chaland’s vibrant color work, make this a visually and narratively rich experience. Published by Reservoir Books in 2021, this hardcover edition compiles the complete six-part saga.

Alejandro Jodorowsky is a visionary filmmaker, writer, and spiritual provocateur who brought esoteric grandeur to European comics. Collaborating with Moebius on “The Incal”, and later with artists like Juan Giménez and Zoran Janjetov, Jodorowsky fused sci-fi excess with gnostic philosophy. His “Jodoverse” is a metaphysical opera of cloning, destiny, and absurd ritual. Surreal, violent, and mystical, his comics are sprawling quests for transcendence—where every page is a tarot card of cosmic upheaval.
