THE VAGABOND OF LIMBO
SCRIPT BY CHRISTIAN GODARD, ART BY JULIO RIBERA
In a faraway galaxy, in a whole other world, largely ruled by the Guild...
Axle Munshine owns the most extraordinary spaceship in the Universe, the Silver Dolphin, invented by his father, Korian, a genius. The entire crew aboard the vessel are androids.
Axle holds a secret belief: dreams are for real – after all, traces of them remain in his memory once awake.
HOW COULD ONE REMEMBER SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T EXIST ? Axle wonders.
To him, dreams are glimpses of genuine images, broadcast from another world, another dimension.
With the help of android Matt Gammone, he has built the Dreamwavor: a machine that allows him to dream deliberately and videotape his visions.
In his sleep he meets a gorgeous young woman, Chimera, who has awaited him all of her life. He is convinced she's for real...
His young travelling companion, Musky, an Eternaut, thinks he's crazy but is all too ready and willing to follow him, in search of adventure...
1- Axle Munshine
Axle Munshine, a space diplomat whose title is Great Conciliator of the Guild, is coming home to planet Xylos, to report to his superior, the Supreme Mediate, ruler of his world, after a delicate diplomatic mission.
Tagging along with Axle is his new friend Musky, heir to the Prince of the Eternauts.
Musky has chosen to temporarily stop his/her growth just before puberty -until he/she finds someone to love deeply enough to grow older... This love and whoever inspires it will determine whether Musky becomes man or woman.
The Council, on Xylos, is rife with intrigue. Meanwhile Axle, feeling lonely, seeks solace in dreams...
