Desciption
An exercise in imagination, Jodorowsky's Twisted Tales is the product of an artistic challenge born from a mutual love of word and image: Jodorowsky would write dozens of tales of beauty and brutality, wisdom and humour, and Boucq would expound upon and direct them through his illustrations. The resulting dialogue is a truly original piece of work - where art is as entwined in the writing, as lyrics in music.
Review
I want to read it again, now. Thoroughly satisfying. Takes Jodorowsky's philosophical bent and puts it in stories that are out to enlighten you without his normal sanctimoniousness. The illustrations are to die for. The first of these books I've had to be reading for research that I've actually really taken to. Read it in a day and glad I did.
