The Austrian science fiction author Herbert W. Franke praised Druillet as a comic writer and illustrator as follows: “The radical innovation came from Europe in the 1970s, primarily with two French illustrators: Philippe Druillet and Moebius. Druillet, somewhere between Gothic horror and baroque science fiction, breaks the traditional framework of the comic strips and opens up an insane and gigantic universe for the reader in which there is no place for humans.
