Description

A psychedelic, sequential romp created by legendary comics master Mœbius between 1997 and 2009, following a production principle that embraced graphic spontaneity and improvisation.

The lead character of this pseudo-story, Major Grubert, evolves in a humorous yet philosophical manner, echoing how Mœbius’s creations are treated in the Inside Mœbius series. Join the Major on his last trip to the nebula of The Airtight Garage, where Mœbius rules as the playful Trickster of legend. What begins as a comical jaunt into unusually profound philosophical questions regarding the nature of existence, eventually winds up as a penetrating examination of the relationship between the author and his creation, the latter of whom must necessarily suffer at the heartless whim of his creator, despite the Major’s passionate desire for real life—and even freedom—beyond these comics!

Translated by Diana Schutz, with lettering by Adam Pruett, Mœbius’s playfully-drawn, main black and white story is augmented with nine color pages.

About the Author

A virtuoso cartoonist and illustrator, Zao Dao is one of the youngest artists of the Chinese avant-garde. Born July 1990 in southern China's Guangdong Province, she began publishing her work on the Internet in 2011. Already universally recognized throughout her own country for her talent as a watercolor artist, Zao Dao evinces a highly original drawing style, blending traditional elements of Chinese painting with a modern graphic sensibility, adding textural effects through her choice of paper surface. While the characters formed at the tip of her brush might at times cast their author as an eccentric young rebel, the ageless pursuit of freedom remains her principal pledge of creativity.
