The saga of young Albino as he strives to become the Supreme Technopriest, and become involved in creating the video games that can control the universe.
A supremely weird bit of sci-fi from Alexandro Jodorowsky. This has plenty of truly bizarre stuff in it, not surprising from Heavy Metal sci-fi, not to mention some scathing bits of social commentary about entertainment and consumer culture manipulating the witless masses. The story isn't perfect, bouncing around rather quickly from conflict to conflict. Except for Albino everyone in the book is a horrible person, which somehow actually works pretty well. Zoran Janjetov is a very talented artist and this is a gorgeous looking book, far superior to pretty much any American comic, and still not quite as good as other Jodorowsky-penned sci-fi tracts. A stronger overall story would net this a perfect rating, but it's still very worth reading as is.
