Cain
2016
Legendary filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky (The Incal, Metabarons) and virtuosic illustrator José Ladrönn (Cable, Incredible Hulk) deliver a sequel to Jodorowsky’s cult classic film, El Topo. El Topo was once a bandit without limits, a man with no moral compass, until his journey through the desert brought him to religion and enlightenment. As he became a holy vessel imbued with the power to perform miracles, he left behind his first born son Cain, and brought forth the birth of Abel. Fueled by resentment, and unable to kill his saintly father, Cain begins the slow pursuit of his half brother in a tale of magic and mayhem.

#2
Abel
2019
The ongoing sequel to cult film, El Topo, from cult-favorite filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky.
“Oh, father, I cannot kill you, but I can kill your son . . .”
El Topo was a bandit without limits, a man with no moral compass, but when his journey through the arid west brought him face to face with a series of rogue outcasts, he found enlightenment in the unlikeliest place and was forever transformed, becoming a holy vessel imbued with the power to perform miracles. This was a journey that took him far from his first born son, Cain, and brought about the birth of Abel.
Fueled by resentment, and unable to kill his saintly father, Cain begins the slow pursuit of his half brother in a tale of magic and mayhem worthy of legendary filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky and virtuosic illustrator José Ladrönn. Together, they deliver an allegorical and surrealist western where the genre is at the service of deeper philosophical and spiritual considerations.

Entretanto, Caim, que embarcou numa busca desesperada para curar uma jovem rapariga de uma doença estranha, percebe que a única esperança de a salvar também está na Ilha Sagrada! o destino reunirá os dois filhos de El Topo para uma viagem final, um movido pelo ódio, o outro pelo amor...
Com este último álbum, Alejandro Jodorowsky encerra a sua sumptuosa saga mística, concebida como sequência de banda desenhada do seu filme El Topo (1970).
Este trabalho deu origem à corrente dos filmes da meia-noite e gerou um culto de seguidores entre os cinéfilos de todo o mundo que continua até aos dias de hoje.
Graças à linha virtuosa de José Ladronn, este tríptico mergulha-nos num western surreal e alucinante onde, como é frequentemente o caso do brilhante criador chileno, o género serve considerações filosóficas e espirituais mais profundas.
