The Sci-Fi masterpiece by Moebius and Jodorowsky about the tribulations of the shabby detective John Difool as he searches for the precious and coveted Incal. John Difool, a low-class detective in a degenerate dystopian world, finds his life turned upside down when he discovers an ancient, mystical artifact called "The Incal." Difool's adventures will bring him into conflict with the galaxy's greatest warrior, the Metabaron, and will pit him against the awesome powers of the Technopope. These encounters and many more make up a tale of comic and cosmic proportions that has Difool fighting for not only his very survival, but also the survival of the entire universe.

Now a common tool and object of study, stacks were introduced in this book as a framework for the study of non-abelian cohomology classes in degrees 1 and 2 on an arbitrary topos. The book shows that these cohomology classes can be represented by geometric objects called torsors and gerbes, and provides a detailed study of their basic properties. Since their introduction in this book, gerbes have become a widespread tool in geometry and topology. A timeless classic, this French language book remains to this day a key reference for fibred categories, stacks, torsors, gerbes and topos.

Visionary author, filmmaker, and philosopher Alejandro Jodorowsky (The Incal, Metabarons, Jodorowsky's Dune) has created - along with some of the world's most singular and talented sequential artists - an incredible Sci-Fi universe, full of love, revenge, intrigue, betrayal, and redemption: THE JODOVERSE. The Jodoverse's two cornerstone series are The Incal and The Metabarons, which together have sold over 5 million copies worldwide. This deluxe box set (two oversized books in one deluxe slipcase box) will be limited at 1500 numbered copies. Book 1 contains THE reference guide on The Incal, Deconstructing the Incal, which lifts the veil on many of the mysteries and secrets surrounding the seminal science-fiction graphic novel. This encyclopedic reference book is packed with fascinating insights from the creators, Jodorowsky and Moebius, alongside revealing text and rare and unseen preliminary illustrations. The book also contains the original 56 pages drawn by Moebius of the unfinished first version of the sequel story (After The Incal). Book 2 features the second reference guide to the Jodoverse, Deconstructing the Metabarons, focused on unveiling the secrets of the universe's fiercest warrior clan: the Metabarons. Book 2 also includes Weapons of the Metabaron, the seminal series' spin-off story recounting how the mightiest warrior in the universe built his arsenal of war and featuring A-list comics star Travis Charest's (Wildcats, WildC.A.T.s/X-Men: The Golden Age, and Star Wars comics covers) interpretation of The Metabarons' mythology.
