I just found this video (the one below) which tries to elaborate a "ranking" of the cities vision developed through graphic novels and comics. Obviously a lot of others could have been quoted here but the final list is already pretty good...(starting from above)
- Moebius & Jodorowsky: L'Incal
- Various authors: Gotham City (Batman)
- Eddie Campbell: London (From Hell)
- Chris Ware: Chicago (Jimmy Corrigan: the smartest kid on Earth)
- Pat Mills, John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra: Mega City One (Judge Dredd)

As architect and comics fan I cant let you write "Moebius: L'Incal (The long tomorrow in English)" ! They are two Moebius' comics, but not the same : "L'incal", with Jodorowsky, it's a long saga start in 1985, and "The long tomorrow", whith Dan O'Bannon, it's a 1975 short comics.
But, it's a realy american view of the cities in comics... They dont talk about Schuiten (image in the begining of the movie), about Marc Antoine Matthieu ("Mémoire Morte"), Enki Bilal... I think there are many intresting cities in european comics.
Thanks a lot for your message. I am sorry about this mistake. AJ did put an image of L'Incal and I got confused with the translation...
You are right about European graphic novels. Marc-Antoine Matthieu and Enki Bilal would definitely be in my list (and probably Schuiten and Peeters too).
si je peux me permettre je vais répondre en francais. le mérite de l'incal, d'ailleurs pas que celui-ci, mais également La Caste des Méta-Barons et les technopères et tout ce qui en découle, on ne peut pas l'attribuer à moebius mais à Jodorowsky. tu peux aimer le graphisme de moebius mais le talent c'est jodorowsky. désolé mais c'est ce qui a bercé mon enfance, je pouvais pas laisser dire ca. la prochaine fois promis je te le fais en anglais. Amis de l'ESA bonsoir :)
