3.0 out of 5 stars Not-quite-bizarre-enough 'Erotic' Effort from Jean Giraud, June 30, 1999

Anyone familiar with the work of Moebius (Jean Giraud) will recall the bizarre dream logic of his classic 1970's serials 'Arzach' and 'The Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius'. The same idea is applied to sex in 'Angel Claw' and the result is an abortion! 'Angel Claw' is a jumble of alternately sexy or morbid images 'connected' by a story written by Alexandro Jodorowsky, Moebius' collaborator on the disappointing 'Incal' series.

I can't give Moebius less than 3 stars, but this was another disappointment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get It for the Art, October 26, 2001

This review is from: Angel Claw (Hardcover)

Yes, the story by Jodorowsky, instead of being one of his better surreal works, is merely an attempt to connect together a bunch of black and white drawings by Moebius that are unconnected except in theme, and, as a result, it would have been better if the publishers instead used the pages devoted to the text to print more Moebius artwork, but if you are a fan of Moebius, this is a nice collection of some great artwork printed in large a size on good quality paper. It doesn't get 5 stars because of the wasted pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lewis Carnellian, May 15, 2001

That's the name, not Joey Something. And the Incal is one of the most bizarre and beautiful comics in all time. This is also another beautiful story that I recommend very much.
