Lone Sloane Vol. 1: Delirius (The Philippe Druillet Library) Kindle & comiXology

by Jacques Lob (Author), Phillippe Druillet (Illustrator), Phillipe Druillet (Artist) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 70 ratings
See all formats and editions
The deserted world of Delirius was nothing but a stain on the universe, until it was converted into the debauched Planet of a Hundred Thousand Pleasures by the evil Supreme Overlord, Imperator of all Galaxies. With the populace placated, he can tax them to the hilt and fund his campaign of terror. His opposition comes in the form of the Red Clergy, who attempt to coerce Sloane, the master-less intergalactic vagabond, into doing their bidding. Yet things are not always as they seem, and the piety of the clergy means nothing in a world of licentious chaos. Besides, Sloane always has his own agenda…Written by giant of the comics world, Jacques Lob, with illustrations by Philippe Druillet at his most fantastical, Delirius is a science fiction epic that leaves readers utterly in awe of the sheer vibrancy of the creator’s imaginations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Druillet's artwork is incredible.
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2021

If you have never seen the artwork of Philippe Druillet, I highly recommend checking out any of his books in the Titan Comics series. Some of the best I've ever seen and the pages are fairly large size. I wouldn't necessarily buy these for the story because while it is interesting, the epic artwork is the star of the show. My only gripe with the Titan Comics version is the paper quality could be better and the artwork has been modified very slightly. From what I have seen it is only some of the narration and dialogue that has been altered and I'm not sure if this is due to them using a new translation but it is something that needs to be pointed out. I've seen others mention that some of the colors look different from older reprints and the original but it is not that big of a deal to me. The main reason to go with this version is that it can be difficult to find older English translations of these stories, either in book form or the original Heavy Metal magazines, that are in decent condition. Taking all of that into consideration, I still highly recommend this book and series.

The art of Druillet is so creative and engrossing. This comic is such an entertaining trip. I love it. The quality of the print is really nice and you can enjoy the many details at your leisure. Lovely

4.0 out of 5 stars A weird piece of history.
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2019

It was great to go back in time and revisit this. The illustrations are dense and worth a second, third and fourth look. It was a read ground-breaker for graphic novels, and while the dialogue is thick with the vernacular of its' time, the boldness is an important part of its' main character. Worth the read and for consideration of its' historical context.

I think the translation from the french leaves much to be desired. Also Driller's art isn't as sharp as his earlier work in Heavy Metal

One thousand stars for Druillet. Lob's dialogue either got muddled in translation, or just lacks the more literary, dark and dramatic tones that Druillet exhibits in the first Lone Sloane book. Lob swings closer to pulpy, cliché action/drama- not necessarily a negative, considering the era. This reads more like a Valerian book, but Druillet's art is the aspect that makes it a must-have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Escape from the pleasure planet
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 14, 2022

My first Lone Sloane, after reading a mention in the Pat Mills biography. I guess this is where "credo" comes from in Nemesis, although it's the currency of the pleasure planet in this story.

Fantastic art. I enjoyed the story. There are a couple of typos like other reviews mention, but they didn't bother me. I would rather that some of the signage on Delirius hadn't been translated in the art itself though. Ultimately though I still thoroughly recommend this.

There is a collected edition of the first 3 that might be out by the time you read this. It didn't seem any cheaper to me when I checked.
