A very interesting look back at comic styles from the 80s. I wanted to explore what  Jodorowsky & and Mœbius created after their attempt at Dune. The colors are bright but the text can sometimes be difficult to follow. Still worth a read.

Erik got these because they’re classics. For sure I can see 100 things that ate stolen from them, but don’t love em.

I enjoyed the story however it is always difficult reading these on a black & white Kindle (Paperwhite 7th Gen) screen. Black writing on a grey background in parts was hard to decipher. Maybe this would have been more enjoyable as an actual graphic novel or on a more modern Kindle.
