Quoting Jean-Marc Lofficer (editor):
"THE ROAD TO AEDENA
The Gardens of Aedena, a sequel to Upon A Star, our first volume.
The story is itself an example of a transition. It shows a progressive and
graceful evolution from the somewhat innocent, “clear line†style
of Upon a Star in the first twenty to thirty pages, to a more detailed look,
better adapted to its darker ending.
Then, as Moebius explains in his afterword, The Gardens of Aedena is also
the departure point from which a series of inter-related stories will spring,
linking up with earlier works, such as The Airtight Garage, to form the basis
of a consistent Moebius universe. This saga is planned to encompass several
multi-book cycles, and millions of years in the History of the Moebius multiverse.
And it all begins here...
And what better symbol for this conceptual transition, than the not-so-obvious
return of Major Grubert as the enigmatic Master Burg! Continuity buffs will also
enjoy the painting on the wall of Page 40, which portrays the Airtight Garage
itself or rather its ancestor, the asteroid Flower, as it appeared in The Horny Goof.
The Gardens of Aedena is a bridge between Moebius’ past and Moebius’
future in more ways than one. Hit Man, for instance, an earlier stor very different
both in style and content, tums out to have more than a passing connection
with the themes of The Aedena Cycie. And so does The Unfaithful Body, a more
recent, amusing fantastic voyage. Obviously, the themes that Moebius is now
developing were seminally present in his work years ago.
Last, and perhaps not least, this is the first time that one of Moebius’ stones
is published first in English. Indeed, The Gardens of Aedena has not yet appeared
in France, under any form. If you consider that the story was drawn in part in Japan,
it may very well be Moebius’ first, truly international piece of work.marks a transition
in Moebius’ career. A milestone on the road to Aedena."
