Deathburger Unit B378

Deathburger Unit B378 is an artist who's been creating very slick cyberpunk artwork for years now. Considering that the "cyberpunk future" is not going to happen, this vision is obsolete but the art is so cool nonetheless. If you're a fan of moebius and Geoff Darrow, you'll LOVE this.

This is essentially an artbook, no text or story. There is volume 2 and a bunch of other books but they are in pdf format

The Forest

The Forest is a graphic novella told via twenty-five singular illustrations, without words, of which only Swiss artist Thomas Ott is capable. A young boy sneaks away from a family funeral and sinks into the forest depths, where he confronts man's greatest fear and must choose his path. Drawing with a technique called scratchboard, where a white surface is covered with a black layer and scratched away, Ott creates images out of negative space to harrowing effect.

Megalex (repost)

Megalex city is an industrial perfection. It has spread almost all over the planet, destroying everything that is natural, random, abnormal. Megalex works correctly, with the perfection of the artificial. Police are cloned so that they are all the same, perfect, and can fight for Megalex during his four days of life. This is a happy world, as would Aldous Huxley. There are still some pockets of Nature, primarily Forest Chem, a conscious jungle trying to sabotage the unstoppable advance of Megalex, while waiting to Geomesías. In this world must survive a police clone cloned defectively the size of a giant. Only the love they feel Zerain and Kavatah can end this spiral of hatred and destruction. Created by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Fred Beltran.

On Megalex, a gigantic planet-industrial city, every nature is banished. It Man and woman reproduces by cloning itself, people are preprogrammed from birth until death, regimented in classes with unequal privileges. The most spectacular life. The police only has live in 400 days, for citezen they are 40 years, but for the queen 4000 years. Everything would be fine in the Brave New World if only a few remaining ‘anomalies’: a forest irreducible and aggressive, rebels buried and, from time to time, there always a malfunction in the system.

Philippe Druillet - short stories translated

Philippe Druillet is one of the best European BD artists from the 1970s and 1980s, and it was great when Heavy Metal magazine began translating and publishing his work in the 1970s.

The Hunted Hunter

by Moebius. Drawn between 2005 and 2008. Moebius was obviously feeling death approaching so he was frantically studying and practicing Carlos Castaneda's "The Art of Dreaming". The French edition's name is "The depressed Hunter" but we prefer "The Hunted Hunter", the Spanish name.

They’re almost certainly dead. My older brother, Pierre, can only drown his sorrow in drugs, but I must look after Alicia, a little girl who somehow escaped the virus and is all alone. But what can I do for her? My only hope is to join the other Warriors of Time masters… You choose which volume to read first. The first four are parallel stories, so it doesn’t matter which one you start with. But you must finish with Khronos, where the four threads are finally brought together. Script by Pierre-Paul Renders, Denis Lapière - Art by Adrián Huelva.
