“It began as the adventures of a jackass named John Difool, and then it became something else - we called it ‘The Incal’ - something that has transformed everything it’s ever touched and continues to do so: its creators, the other artists who later became a part of John’s journey, its publisher Humanoids and myself in the process, countless readers, writers and directors around the world, and soon, I believe, the great Taika Waititi himself and everyone who looks to him for inspiration,” said Humanoids CEO Fabrice Giger. As Difool learns of the Incal’s powers and purpose, he teams with a ragtag crew on a mission to save the universe. It’s as fresh, weird, and transgressive today as it was 40 years ago when it was first published.” For Humanoids’ Free Comic Book Day comic this year, Waid wrote a brand-new Incal tale illustrated by Stéphane Roux (Star Wars, Birds of Prey) that serves as a perfect introduction to the series.It centers on a private investigator John Difool, who happens upon a mystical artifact known as the Incal, an object of great power coveted by many factions across the galaxy. With THE INCAL, Alejandro Jodorowsky & Mœbius created one of the essential graphic novels. It’s mind-blowing, jaw-dropping, absolutely insane storytelling by two masters of the medium that will challenge your preconception of what comics can do. “This book is unlike anything you’ve ever read before, and you’ll very likely never experience anything like it again. “If you’ve never read THE INCAL, here’s a word of caution,” said Humanoids Publisher Mark Waid. It’s available now, retailing for $29.99. The trade paperback collects Mœbius’ and Jodorowsky’s sci-fi masterpiece in one volume and includes a foreword by bestselling writer Brian Michel Bendis.

Humanoids has commemorated this occasion with a special anniversary trade paperback edition. It was written by writer Alejandro Jodorowsky and internationally acclaimed artist Mœbius. (September 8, 2020) Humanoids, the Los Angeles-based publisher of some of the world’s most iconic and groundbreaking science fiction and fantasy graphic novels, is celebrating the 40th anniversary of THE INCAL.
