Moebius Library: Inside Moebius Vol. 1 (Hardcover)

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.

In this very special Artbook, "Moebius" draws himself encountering his favorite characters--creations like "Blueberry", "Arzak", and "Major Grubert" -- and also meets a younger version of himself!

Working closely with "Moebius Production" in France, Dark Horse presents the "Inside Moebius" Artbook Collection, a six-part study, with "Inside Moebius Part 1" collecting the first two chapters in this fantastic exploration of a creator meeting his own creations.
