With an afterword by DIANA PICASSO grand-daughter of Pablo Picasso.
The duo of Alexandro Jodorowsky and Moebius lead us on a sensual and poetic journey, creating before us an erotic masterpiece.

In Angel Claws, frequent collaborators Alexandro Jodorowsky and Moebius (The Incal, The Eyes of the Cat) indulge their naughtier sides as they describe a young woman's quest for sexual awakening. Suggestive eroticism quickly evolves to metaphysical delirium.

About the Author

Alejandro Jodorowsky (also known as Alexandro Jodorowsky) is a Chilean film and theatre director, screenwriter, playwright, actor, comic book writer, author, poet, mime, musician, and spiritual guru. He is best known for his avant-garde, cult films, such as "El Topo," a midnight movie favorite.

Jean Giraud aka Mœbius was a French artist, cartoonist, and writer, who worked in the Franco-Belgian bandes dessinées tradition. Giraud earned worldwide fame, predominantly under the pseudonym Mœbius, which he used to create a wide range of science fiction and fantasy comics in a highly imaginative and surreal, almost abstract style. Esteemed by Federico Fellini, Stan Lee and Hayao Miyazaki, among many others, he is considered as the most influential bande dessinée artist, and a continued influence to filmmakers and artists around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Art
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2013
This is not a comic in the traditional sense. This is essentially a pairing of poetry with art pieces. It is assembled a little like a comic because the art follows a sequence, like just a book version of a psychosexual chaotic dream. The book is of course heavily soaked in Jodorowsky style (with sexual symbolism), so being familiar with how he treats women as characters is almost a must before exploring this book. It is not appropriate for the timid or easily offended. Moebius' fantastic art also takes this book to a level most artists can only dream of achieving. The printing quality from Humanoids is also spectacular. Strong & sturdy cover and thick pages that you almost never see anymore even in books with the highest price tags.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surreal.
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2020

Surreal if with it we mean "I didn't understand." But I like it very much, is a pretty original and adult but mature story, or state of mind perhaps. The (explicit) art by Moebius is just that: art. The writing is almost of an alien and a familiar world, is quite desolate. Maybe I am far from being the intended reader of this work, because if I had understood it I am sure to have loved it, but what I liked was that path in which death and sex cross each other. That time of climax where existence seems to disappear and we suddenly melt into each other. The fact that it starts with the onyric funeral of the father makes me think that it is the sexual awakening of a young girl, with the Oedipus complex pointed by psychologists as part of her path to mature and accept themselves. Or maybe is just what it is and as so it is beautiful too.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Journey Through a Disturbed Mind...I Think
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2017
The simplest way to describe Angel Claw is to call it an anti-plot, stream of consciousness abstraction that uses incest, BDSM, self mutilation and sexual distortion as a path to self exploration.

Yeah, that’s the easiest way to say it...

A young woman begins the story at the funeral for her father and takes a journey (which might only be in her mind) to his empty house and a labyrinth that escalates from invasive to bizarre to transcendent.

It’s definitely NSFW and it probably better understood under the influence of controlled substances, adult beverages or both.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Mobeus Art
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2021

I probably misspelled the artists name but all four star ratings go to him. The writing by Jodorowski is always very difficult for me to follow in a single shot effort like this one. For a better story by this team that is easier to consume check out the Incal series instead. I think this team shines more brightly in a sprawling story such as that.

I didn't know what it was and and inadvertently downloaded it. Porn, S&M, and what some may call, mutilation. Definitely not what I was after. Pick your poison, if that is what you want.

4.0 out of 5 stars Full of porn and taboo
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2020

Moebius is a favorite of mine, and the artwork shines, but this won’t be for everyone. Full graphic nudity, gimp suits, masks, leather bondage, and bodily fluids- all abound in this short collection. The accompanying words, probably meant to be shocking, fail a little in their effect because I wasn’t buying into it. The narrator is a woman in the arc of transformation but it felt more like a puppet voiced by a man who doesn’t really understand women. Does that sense?

Kind of disturbing, but I think that's the point. It's not a long book, it's more of a graphic novel than a illustrated novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome and magnificient.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2016

Talk about coffee table books - this one is the coffee table. It isn't a book but a work of art and massive to boot, better check the sizes if you want to buy, it's got a massive wow factor. The book itself is high quality, it's sturdy and the paper is like thick card like holding the real work of art in your hands. Not a Jodorowsky book/story in the normal sense. Don't fully know if I understand the meaning but it reads like an idea on how a girl (read virgin) becomes a "woman" (called sexual awakening elsewhere) seen from a man's viewpoint, with an cryptic sometimes difficult to fathom statement (that qualifies it to be called poetic) on the LH side of one page and a full page black & white drawing by Moebius on the page next to it. Every single one of these is a work of art in its own right. Take the book for what it is: a collaboration between two great men, a piece of art to be treasured. It has a limited edition of 800 and thus not cheap but worth every penny and certainly different.
