About the Author

Alejandro Jodorowsky (also known as Alexandro Jodorowsky) is a Chilean film and theatre director, screenwriter, playwright, actor, comic book writer, author, poet, mime, musician, and spiritual guru. He is best known for his avant-garde, cult films, such as "El Topo," a midnight movie favorite.
Travis Charest was born in Leduc, a small town in the Canadian province of Alberta. He discovered his first comic book at his grandmother’s house, which inspired him to start drawing. He submitted his work to DC Comics, and based on his early work for them was asked by Jim Lee to come to California and join the Wildstorm Studios, for whom he drew the Wild CATS revamp. He eventually travelled to Paris to collaborate on a one-off graphic novel taking place within the famed universe of The Metabarons, created by Alejandro Jodorowsky. The project also involved Before The Incal and The Technopriest artist Zoran Janjetov and would come to be known as Weapons of the Metabaron. By 2007, Charest was settled in California and developed his own webcomic Spacegirl, of which a collected book version was self-published in 2008.
Zoran Janjetov is among the most prominent comics creators of former Yugoslavia and has been published worldwide. Influenced by the works of Walt Disney and encouraged by his parents, he made his first short comic aged seven. After finishing high school, he continued his education at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, where he graduated.

Editorial Reviews

"Weapons of the Metabaron is a beautiful book to look at. Charest and Janjetov artwork visually captures Jodorowsky’s imagination and creates worlds and characters that are mythic and grand. " - Newsarama "Charest’s dynamic and vibrant images paired with Jodorowsky’s mystical storytelling is something very special." - The Beguiling "Cleverly written and exquisitely rendered, this is another winner..." - Junk Food for Thought "The Charest art is gorgeous and finely detailed..." - Comic Book Daily "For fans of the Metabaron story and the Jodorverse in general, Weapons of the Metabarons is a must read tale. Not only is it engaging and action-packed, but it also features some of the most impressive art of the series thanks to Charest's work." - Figures.com
