How this is possible ? "Moebius and Jodorowsky sued Luc Besson, director of The Fifth Element, claiming that the film borrowed graphic and story elements from The Incal, but lost their case. In a 2002 interview, Jodorowsky actually claimed that he considered it an honour that somebody stole his ideas which is not surprising as Jodorowsky believes that authors do not create the stories they tell as much as they make personal interpretations of myths universal to the collective human subconsciousness." Because Moebius, lead with Meziere, the team of graphist who works on the movie ???

Strange but true. Here's a couple of news reports on the case (in French). Zompist 15:50, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

What's the reference for the term "Church of Industrial Saints"? I've read the Incal a few times and never seen the Techno-Technos referred to as such. Erin Clark 01:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Wasn't it in the Technopriests comic series? Ausir 17:27, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

You're probably right. I'll check both books next time I'm at the library just to make sure. --Erin Clark 23:04, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

What is the relation between The Incal cover art and Itomi Bhaa?--Popski 12:42, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] solune's name

Solune is a mix of the French words for "sun" and "moon". Soleil = sun, Lune = moon. it goes with the androgynous, yin-yang, concept.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JDF32.jpg

Image:JDF32.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] legal issues

As it is said in an interview in the Guardian (http://film.guardian.co.uk/interview/interviewpages/0,,2050577,00.html), it's the comic-book editor who launch the lawsuit, not Jodorowsky.Exaple —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.195.148.94 (talk) 17:20, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
