The Incal (Graphitti Designs, SelfMadeHero, Humanoids) The Incal Soon we meet Difool’s faithful companion a concrete pigeon by the name of Depo and as the story unfolds Difool whilst escorting an upper level aristo lady to the dangerous depths of The Red Ring, finds himself in possession of a mysterious object: the Incal. The Incal begins with lowly Class “R” Detective John Difool as he is set upon by masked men and is about to be thrown over the edge and down into Suicide Alley before narrowly escaping. And that’s how my subconscious mind introduced me to “El Incal” (“The Incal”)!”

I moved toward it and found myself submerged in the center. A cosmic being formed by two superimposed pyramids, one black, the other white, was calling me. “That same night, I dreamed that I was flying in intergalactic space. The idea of The Incal came to Jodorowsky in a dream after a chance encounter with Moebius where they both reminisced about Dune and what could have been, Jodorowsky’s dream is described in the foreword to Les Yeux Du Chat: Moebius for his next work with Jodorowsky, would take in visual inspiration from his collaboration with Dan O’Bannon on the futuristic noir short story The Long Tomorrow, and would set to work on their new project known as The Incal. Picking up any surviving pieces from the smoked cinders of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s impossible dream of Dune, Jodorowsky and Moebius would band together once more and descend on the medium of bandes dessinées just as they did for their last work the short story Les Yeux Du Chat.
