That this ambitious saga began life as an ad for Citroën cars is only one example of Moebius’s transcendent imagination, now finally brought to English. Glowingly illustrated in the elegant clear-line art and rich colors for which Moebius is justly revered, the book careens spectacularly through science fiction, fantasy, allegory, pop psychology, and psychedelia. But a high-tech cult and a belligerent id-demon threaten to spoil their back-to-nature buzz. Gradually they abandon the trappings of their futuristic society to reconnect with the land, discovering sex and sensuality along with unprocessed food. The World of Edena A Dark Horse Comics/Moebius Production collaboration Working closely with Moebius Production in France, Dark Horse puts the work of a master storyteller back in printwith some material in English for the first time Stel and Atan are interstellar repairmen trying to find a lost space station and its crew. Spacefaring mechanics Stel and Atan find their way to Edena, a planetary paradise of lush jungles, welcoming gardens, and bronze deserts. The first volume in Dark Horse’s new Moebius Library finally gives the legendary French cartoonist-long unavailable in English-the American welcome he deserves with a spectacular hardcover album of the entire Edena saga, annotated with notes from the artist and his studio.
