Anibal cinq

In this brief but potent 1990–1992 series from Les Humanoïdes Associés, writer Alejandro Jodorowsky and artist Georges Bess conjure a stark, allegorical tale set in a grim, decaying future. Across its two issues, the story follows the enigmatic title character through a world of oppressive order and spiritual decay, exploring themes of identity and transcendence. Though short-lived, Anibal cinq stands as a striking example of Jodorowsky's signature metaphysical storytelling, rendered with Bess's hauntingly detailed linework.
