J.D. Foster is an Earthman on shore leave in the spaceport city of Pharagonesia. It's a crazy day in the city, as the locals are celebrating Mutation Day. And it's a crazy day for J. D. Foster, as he's about to experience his first glass of "koks"! Earthmen and koks, they don't mix too well, with the result being more than a little . . . messy. "Shore Leave on Pharagonesia" is just one of the peculiar stories you'll find in Moebius' The Exotics, a collection of the French cartoonists more unusual science-fiction works. Featuring such notable stories as the long-out-of-print "The Horny Goof," the prequel to The Airtight Garage and The Man from the Ciguri, this 80-page classic travels the wondrous pathways that could only have been created by the legendary Moebius. This volume also includes story notes by Moebius.
