Metal Hurlant: Paradise Lost

Utopia has been chased by sentient beings since the beginning of time. But what is it? Where is it? When? How?

Inside this 272-page tome: Interviews with filmmaker, documentarian, and “cult” expert Jodi Wille (The Source Family, Welcome Space Brothers), and utopian sci-fi master Kim Stanley Robinson (The Mars Trilogy, Ministry for the Future); a brief glimpse of French legend Tardi, and the complete Polonius, his rare, depraved 44-page work with writer Picaret; and 23 visions of utopias lost and found from the talented creators of comics past, present, and future.
