La Caste des Méta-Barons

But how did he become the most powerful warrior in the galaxy? An unforgiving mercenary in L’Incal, the Metabaron became the focus of his own series (Humanoïdes Associés, 1992), which explores the origins of this iconic character.
For centuries, the Castaka have been the sole rulers of the planet Marmola, exploiting its vast marble resources thanks to the mysterious épyphite, an oil with anti-gravitational properties. When the secret is revealed, the planet comes under siege, and a bloody struggle begins—the very origin of everything that follows.
Already a writer on L’Incal, Jodorowsky continued to expand his universe alongside Juan Gimenez. The Argentine artist found in this saga a remarkable opportunity to express his talent, creating a unique space opera filled with extraordinary detail and enhanced by breathtaking direct coloring.
