A silent warrior rides a white pterodactyl across a desert world. Things happen to him. Nobody says a word. Moebius even spelled the title differently in each of the four short stories, as though to underline that you were not going to be given any help.
Arzach is barely more than a few dozen pages long, and it is one of the most important comics of the last century, the moment Moebius stopped doing what anybody expected and simply drew. The landscapes, all empty space and pale colour, influenced everyone from Hayao Miyazaki to the designers of video games you have probably played. Some people find it baffling; the correct response is to let the pictures do the work.
