Megalex

In the dystopian sci-fi series Megalex (1999–2010), published by Carlsen Comics in Germany, writer Alejandro Jodorowsky and artist Fred Beltran craft a stark, three-issue saga of a totalitarian planet where a rigid caste system is enforced by a tyrannical computer. The story follows a rebel uprising against the oppressive order, blending Jodorowsky’s signature metaphysical and philosophical themes with Beltran’s richly detailed, atmospheric artwork. Though brief, the series stands as a compelling, visually striking European graphic novel that explores the clash between nature, technology, and freedom.
