The hyperactive plot involves a MacGuffin called the Incal the book's twists and turns are sometimes incomprehensible and sometimes tiresome – and there's a bit too much spiritual waffle along the way – but the "Jodoverse" is an inspired creation, and the pair render it quite brilliantly.
He lost, but the series should get a deserved new audience with this one-volume reissue, which restores the colouring and the once-censored nudity of the original strip. Such were this wildly imaginative 80s comic's similarities to The Fifth Element that Jodorowsky sued the film-makers.
