1st printing.

Written by Alejandro Jodorowsky. Art and cover by Moebius. Translated by Natacha Ruck and Ken Grobe.

The comedic and ironic misadventures of a confused Philosophy professor on the path to spiritual awakening. From Legendary artist Mœbius (The Incal, Arzach, Blueberry) and writer Alejandro Jodorowsky (The Incal, Metabarons, Jodorowsky's Dune).

Alan Mangel has it all. As a popular professor at the world-famous Université de La Sorbonne, he is wealthy, married, and academically acclaimed. On his sixtieth birthday, however, his life crumbles as a beautiful young student claims she has received a holy vision that Mangel is to impregnate her with the second coming of John the Baptist.

Thus begins a wild existential and spiritual journey that challenges Mangel's very reality when everything once true is proved to be false, while everything once false is proved to be true.
