Exclusive: Dark Horse announces MOEBIUS LIBRARY: THE DEPRESSED HUNTER

Dark Horse has announced Moebius Library: The Depressed Hunter, the next English-language installment in its collection of comics by the legendary Jean “Mœbius” Giraud. Debuting next summer, the book is written and illustrated by Mœbius, translated by Diana Schutz, and lettered by Adam Pruett.

The Depressed Hunter is a prequel to The Major, in which Major Grubert’s attempts to stop feeling so sad land him in the middle of a harrowing plot against his life. Here’s the full synopsis via Dark Horse:

In this graphic novel prequel to The Major, Mœbius’s Major Grubert finds himself attempting to chase away the blues, but gets caught up into a surreal adventure. Taking a vacation to the Airtight Garage to clear his mind, Grubert walks straight into an assassination plot: his own! As the Major goes undercover, the late, great French master cartoonist Mœbius delivers The Depressed Hunter, taking readers into the intricate world of the Major’s dreams—and nightmares!—with the lush, exquisite pen-and-ink work for which the author is best known. This is another intensely psychedelic adventure that only Mœbius could take us on!

Like the other installments in the Moebius Library collection, The Depressed Hunter will be released in hardcover. The book will be available everywhere books are sold on June 9, 2026. Pre-orders are available now.
