A review by stopnodont
The World of Edena by Mœbius

3.0

If this book were published today by a different author, would it be beloved and revered? No, probably not. A great many surreal space saga comics have been written and largely forgotten since this was published, but because it's Moebius and because the competition was lacking at the time, this book is considered a classic.

I did not love this book, but it also wasn't bad. The art is somewhat amateur by modern standards but also endearing in its own way. The story is bizarre and the ending is somewhat unsatisfying. Some of the magic may have been lost in translation (the original language was French).

I'm glad that I read it but I'm unlikely to read it again. It is an overall beautiful book though and I'm happy to display it on a shelf.
