notes

the art and wild story telling of the world of edena, but centered on a man
instead of a planet.

the back of the book had a few quotes and one of them made me feel heard. they
said something to the effect of: "i fell in love with the art of moebius and
proceeded to lookup everything they've ever made."

amen
