Megalex

In Megalex (2010–present, Reservoir Books), the celebrated Spanish artist Juan Giménez collaborates with filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky on a single-issue comic that distills their signature cosmic science fiction into a dense, visually striking fable. Set on a planet where a tyrannical city dominates a lush, rebellious wilderness, the story explores themes of control, nature, and liberation through Giménez’s meticulously detailed, painterly art. Though brief, this standalone work stands as a potent example of the duo’s shared vision, offering a concentrated dose of their philosophical and aesthetic preoccupations.
