The Incal (Saga)

The Incal saga is the main graphic novel series of the Jodoverse, beginning with The Incal (1981-1988), and followed by a prequel, Before the Incal (1988-1995) and two sequels, After the Incal (2000) and Final Incal (2008-2014). In 1989, Jodorowsky wrote a short story, In the Heart of the Impregnable Metabunker, to accompany the release of Les Mystères de l'Incal.

The whole saga encompasses aproximately 13 years, from John DiFool's younger years as an orphan in City Shaft to his adulthood as a class "R" private detective who comes into contact with the mysterious Luminous Incal, eventually saving the whole universe.
