Farewell, Moebius
Mar. 10th, 2012 09:06 amGreat sadness -- another of the legends has passed. Artist and designer Jean Giraud, aka Moebius, has passed away at the age of 73.
He did comics that were gorgeous and truly alien, in a gentle yet powerful style, kinda like Barry Windsor-Smith crossed with Jack Kirby or Jim Steranko. Astonishing visions, dreamscapes where the people themselves seemed a little unreal, as if they had absorbed some of the unreality around them.
He contributed to the visual look of so many of our favorite films: Alien, Blade Runner, Tron, the Star Wars universe, The Abyss....
Rest well, sir. Your work will not be forgotten.
