My French isn’t quite good enough to figure out what’s going on in Kris Kool, an ultra-psychedelic journey to Venus, Mars, and Saturn, which turn out to feature puzzling geometrical landscapes with a pansexual phantasmagoria of nubile kaleidoscopic enchantresses in the full complement of Peter Max-ian primary colors. You’d never guess it was from 1970, now would you?

Philippe Caza is a respected French illustrator, and this was his very first graphic novel. You can download the whole thing for just €7.00 (about $10) — and it comes with “quelques bonus” — “some bonuses,” including “early research, original black and white” and a few other things. Caza explains that the original print run got bogged down in some legal difficulties. It would be great to see this thing get published properly. I suppose it would help to understand French but it seems almost beside the point….
