![]() ![]() The stories of Edena come after some of Moebius’ career-defining work. But from that story, Moebius would spend nearly the next 20 years struggling against his own desired freedom and the world’s pressure to categorize, normalize, quantify and regulate his creative impulses and desires. “Repairs” is very much a Moebius story of its time- a freewheeling exploration of imagery and themes that displayed Moebius’ 1970-ish creative freedom. Starting with the short story “Repairs,” Moebius discovers Stel and Atan, two very plain and non-sexual repairmen who have to fix the fantastic machines of the future. Moebius is maybe one of the only cartoonists who could take a paying gig for a company like Citreon and turn it into the opening chapter of a cycle of stories about how the late 20th century humanity has disconnected itself from everything pure and good that came before. Back in the early 1980s, Moebius discovered the tiniest gem of a much larger story in a comic that was basically a promotional comic for French car salesmen. The World of Edena, the first volume in Dark Horse's Moebius Library, is part adventure and part spiritual. ![]()
