Moebius takes Major Grubert on a final, psychedelic adventure!

Arriving for the first time in English, Dark Horse Books presents Moebius Library: The Major. This latest volume in the Moebius Library series toys with one of its most famous characters. Moebius Library: The Major features writing and art by legendary creator Jean "Moebius" Giraud, translation by Diana Schutz, and lettering by Adam Pruett.

The Major is a psychedelic, sequential romp created by Moebius between 1997 and 2009, following a production principle that embraces graphic spontaneity and improvisation. The lead character of this pseudo-story, Major Grubert, evolves in a humorous yet philosophical manner, echoing how Moebius' creations are treated in the Inside Moebius series.

Join the Major on his last trip to the nebula of The Airtight Garage, where Moebius 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!

The Moebius Library: The Major hardcover will arrive in bookstores July 24, 2024 and in comic shops July 25, 2024. The 184-page volume, measuring 8.375 x 10.875", is available for pre-order now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and at your local comic shop and bookstore and will retail for $39.99.

Praise for Moebius Library:

"The visuals are enormous, definitely a spectacle, and the story presents [The World of Edenas'] philosophical ideals with nice drama and conflict."—Multiversity Comics

"Colorfully illustrated and as described by its creator, "simple, yet very polished." [Moebius'] illustrations provide an emphasis to his story that goes beyond simple explanations. One of his gifts is allowing the reader to interpret his vision however you see fit. His approach allows this adventure to build and build, creating an endless landscape of planets, stars, and a variety of uniquely bizarre characters."—Fanbase Press

"It’s funny, it's poignant, it's well translated from the original French, it's unforgettable. If you are a Moebius fan, please add this volume to your collection!"—ICV2
