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, Dune (even though never made) or the recent Endless Poetry. Since penning The Incal with Jean "Moebius" Giraud, Jodorowsky continued writing top selling comic books with a wide variety of Europe's most talented artists, such as The White Lama (with Bess), The Metabarons (with Gimenez), The Technopriests (with Janjetov), and most recently Bouncer (with Boucq). Jerry Frissen (born Thierry Frissen in Belgium) is an American comic book writer and toy and graphic designer. He is the senior graphic designer at Humanoids as well as the author of several best-selling graphic novels, including the anthology comic book series Lucha Libre (Unfabulous Five, The Tikitis), The Zombies That Ate The World (The Z Word) and the new cycle of the internationally acclaimed series The Metabarons, co-written with Alejandro Jodorowsky and illustrated by Valentin Sécher, Niko Henrichon and Esad Ribic, under the title The Metabaron. In addition to his work on The Metabaron, Jerry Frissen is also the author of the sci-fi thriller Exo (March 2018). 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.
". . . it tosses Greek mythology, Frank Herbert's Dune, and a bit of the old ultraviolence into a blender and presses frappé. ...stunningly illustrated and utterly bananas."--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "This strong science fiction story will not only appeal to readers familiar with the Metabaron catalog and the strong output of Humanoids in the field, but should also be on the radar for audiences weaned on Image Comics' recent presence in the genre over the past few years with titles such as Saga, Prophet, and much more."--ICV2
