From its opening panels, in which shambling detective John Difool is thrown through the strata of a great city, passing snipers and copycats on his way to a lake of acid, The Incal is entrancing. Such were this wildly imaginative 80s comic's similarities to The Fifth Element that Jodorowsky sued the film-makers. He lost, but the series should get a deserved new audience with this one-volume reissue, which restores the colouring and the once-censored nudity of the original strip. The hyperactive plot involves a MacGuffin called the Incal; the book's twists and turns are sometimes incomprehensible and sometimes tiresome  and there's a bit too much spiritual waffle along the way  but the "Jodoverse" is an inspired creation, and the pair render it quite brilliantly. The wonderful drawings capture strange worlds populated by technopriests, rubbish-dwelling mutants, doppelgängers, giant jellyfish, chiming forests of gems and jostling, selfish humanity. It crackles with invention: if you like your sci-fi, you'll love this.
