Working closely with publisher Casterman and Moebius Production, Dark Horse now brings you Numa Sadoul's landmark interviews with Jean "Moebius" Giraud. The master reflects on his many lives as an artist and man, from his Heavy Metal breakthrough era to a year before his untimely passing.
While French artist Jean Giraud was already a well-known comic
artist with his hard-boiled western series Blueberry, he built an
entire second career under the pen name Moebius beginning in 1963
with a series of short stories. In later years, Moebius would
become world famous for his science-fiction, artistic, and erotic
art. He is admired for his many collaborations with Alejandro
Jodorowsky such as the wordless comics fantasy, Arzach.
In 1983 he co-founded the Aedena company and settled in Los
Angeles. During his stay in the USA, he saw his most important
works published by Marvel Comics. He also illustrated an episode of
Silver Surfer by Stan Lee.
In addition to his large comics and illustration output, Moebius
remained active in the film industry as well. In addition to
providing preliminary designs for such films as Alien, Tron, The
Abyss, Masters of the Universe, and The Fifth Element, Moebius
provided concept art for El Topo director Alejandro Jodorowsky's
never-realized adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune.
Moebius passed away in Paris on March 10, 2012, at the age of 73.
