Back cover: Déjà, dans le nom de “Griffes d’Ange”, la jeune protagoniste de cette histoire troublante s’exprime. L’impossible mariage de la violence et de la douceur, de la chair et de l’esprit, du masculin et du féminin. Dans un récit brutal, effusif d’éclats sanglants et poétiques, Alejandro Jodorowsky raconte l’initiation sexuelle et spirituelle de Griffes d’Ange, que Moebius dessine avec une infinie subtilité et une sereine aisance, comme les fantasmes les plus bizarres d’un érotomane sans retenue. (Already, in the very name “Angel Claws,” the young protagonist of this disturbing story expresses herself. The impossible union of violence and tenderness, of flesh and spirit, of the masculine and the feminine. In a brutal narrative, effusive with bloody and poetic bursts, Alejandro Jodorowsky recounts the sexual and spiritual initiation of Angel Claws, whom Moebius draws with infinite subtlety and serene ease, like the most bizarre fantasies of an unrestrained erotomaniac.)
