I dreamt something like two pyramids, white and black together inside. In the beginning, The Incal came out of a dream. The Incal, as I understand it, came about in part from your Dune project which is where you first worked with Moebius.

Then I can tell any story, not a continuation all the time. Then I decided I want to make a complete novel: I will make a start, an end, and all this - only six books. They were in bigger editions or printed on nice paper, but they were always a continued storyline: you have a hero like Superman, Spider-Man, and at that time, you were always continuing to make this stories.
