The Depressed Hunter

By Jean "Moebius" Giraud. Published by Dark Horse. 

Hardcover, 88 pages, B&W, 2008 (2026 printing)

A mind-warping graphic novel from the master of comics, Jean “Mœbius” Giraud—for the first time in English!

In this graphic novel prequel to The Major, Mœbius’s Major Grubert finds himself attempting to chase away the blues by getting into a surreal adventure! Taking a vacation to the Airtight Garage to clear his mind, Grubert walks straight into an assassination plot: His own!

As the Major goes undercover, the late, great French master cartoonist Mœbius returns to form here, in The Depressed Hunter, taking readers into the intricate world of the Major’s dreams—and nightmares!—with the lush, exquisite pen-and-ink work for which the author is best known. Another intensely psychedelic adventure that only Mœbius could take us on!

Translated by Diana Schutz, who continues to provide illuminating translator’s notes, and skillfully lettered—reflecting Mœbius’s own work—by Adam Pruett (The World of Edena, The Major).
