What are Yea Forums's experiences with Jodorowsky's comics? I've recently read a few Bouncer volumes and while fun adventure stories, they don't really have any depth to them.
From the way people spoke of him and his work, I always got the impression Jodorowsky was an esoteric writer, much like Cormac McCarthy.
Are his other comics similar, or is Bouncer just his way of relaxing with a simple story now and again?

the art is always better than the writing

On the one hand, I do love his stories, he certainly has a unique and strange way of writing characters.
On the other hand, I find the guy fucking insufferable and the mountains of unwarranted self-importance exuding from the text when he dedicates entire pages to basically wanking himself off to how fucking enlightened he is because he meditates.

I've read his Metabarons and, well, esoteric might be the right word. It starts as a fairly straightforward space romance adventure and then suddenly dives headfirst into mindfuck.
10/10 would recommend.

Bouncer is straight up western. You want depth? Read White Llama or The Madwoman of the Sacred Heart
William Cook
I never got that impression from his writing in what little I read, but him being a "guru" is a level of self-importance rivaled only by cult leaders.
What kind of mindfuck specifically? Will I need to read up on some literature before getting into Metabarons?
Thanks for the recommendation, user.

Yeah, read something like The Technopriests. It's fucking insufferable at times.
Ryan Carter
I heard Technopriests is one of his lesser works. I'll still read it when I get the time just to measure for myself how up his own ass he may or may not get.
David Hill
I'm halfway through The Technopriest and I love how he's taking the piss out of the corporate video game makers
He's best when he's working with religious iconography and twisting it into new messages. It's why Madwoman of the Sacred Heart is so good

Don't think so. I sure didn't. But it does toss babies created by psionic orgasm at you, as well as some beautifully painted dimension hopping. It's also rather Nsfw at times, be warned. Also, don't let the silly talking robots confuse you, they're important later.
