About this ebook

The must-read spin-off of best selling Sci-Fi masterpiece The Incal continues. This edition collects the entire four volume series of "The Metabaron." The Techno Empire’s cruel reign and boundless ambition have the universe in a chokehold, but one obstacle remains before them: The Metabaron. The Metabaron once single-handedly brought the Techno-Techno Empire to its knees. In the chaos that followed, however, a new regime has taken hold, one that has seized control of the rare and vital fuel for intergalactic travel known as epiphyte. As the Metabaron launches a counter-offensive, the Empire will send its most feared soldiers to defend the power they have amassed, even to the doors of the Metabunker itself. To make matters even more dire, the Metabaron’s less than honorable son seeks to usurp the power of the father who abandoned him. Can the Metabaron withstand the many challenges before him and save the universe once more? This edition collects the entire four volume collection of THE METABARON in one book for the first time. Born on the pages of Mœbius and Jodorowsky’s legendary The Incal, the mighty Metabaron has been starring in his own spinoff stories since 1992. Now, The Metabaron returns as a collaboration between Jodorowsky and Jerry Frissen (Fire of Theseus, The Zombies That Ate the World), exhibiting the work of an all-star lineup of international artists: Valentin Sécher, Niko Henrichon, and Pete Woods.

About the author

Jerry Frissen (born Thierry Frissen in Belgium) is an American comic book writer and toy & graphic designer. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the recently relaunched comics anthology magazine Metal Hurlant in France, as well as the author of several best-selling graphic novels, including the anthology comic book series Lucha Libre (Unfabulous Five, The Tikitis), The Fire of Theseus, Exo, Simak, and the new cycle of the internationally acclaimed series The Metabarons, co-written with Alejandro Jodorowsky and illustrated by Valentin Sécher, Niko Henrichon, and Pete Woods. His book The Zombies That Ate The World, illustrated by Guillermo Del Toro collaborator Guy Davis, was recently adapted by RKSS of Turbo Kid for the silver screen as We Are Zombies. ​

Alejandro Jodorowsky (also known as Alexandro Jodorowsky) is a Chilean film and theatre director, screenwriter, playwright, actor, comic book writer, author, poet, mime, musician, and spiritual guru. He is best known for his avant-garde, cult films, such as "El Topo," a midnight movie favorite.

At only 29, Valentin has already been published by Titan Comics (Khaal) and Humanoids (The Metabaron Book 1 & 3). A rising star in the European comics scene, he took up the challenge of following in the footsteps of Juan Gimenez, creating his own version of Jodorowsky's universes: cinematic landscapes and beautiful, realistic fight scenes.

Niko Henrichon is a Canadian comic artist most known for “Pride of Baghdad” (Vertigo) and “Noah” (Image), the former earning him an Eisner nomination for Best Penciller/Inker. He has also worked on “Fables”, “New X-Men”, “Sandman” and “Spiderman” in addition to his covers of “Fantasic Four” and “X-Men”.

Over the past two decades Pete Woods has drawn a little bit of everything, from Superman, Deadpool, and Wonder Woman to Terminator, Archie, and MAD Magazine. When he’s not drawing comics he and his family are exploring the country as full-time RVers.
