A blog exploring the work of Jean Giraud, aka Gir, aka Moebius. Basically, there didn't seem to be any places online that gave a comprehensive collection of his work, so I made one.
[The official site of Moebius] - While there are very few of his works available to an English-only audience, the last thing I want to do is take away from potential sales by hosting his work here. If you speak French and can enjoy his books the way they were originally meant to be enjoyed, please click over and show him some love.

A small sample of Moebius’ storyboards for Jodorowsky’s Dune. Jodorowsky says there are hundreds of pages of this stuff, which we’ll hopefully see more of when Frank Pavich’s documentary finally sees a release.

Moebius didn’t contribute much for issue 9, aside from his Airtight Garage entry which I’m posting later. For issue 10, Is Man Good? was his main contribution.

Part 2 of The Long Tomorrow. More Airtight.
Note: I’m not sure which exact pages of Airtight ran in each issue, only that it ran from 1976 to sometime in 1980. However, I do know exactly which pages were published in each issue of Heavy Metal, and will stick to that from here on.

Career Timeline: 1976 - Dune
Moebius meets Alejandro Jodorwosky, and begins work as a concept artist on a filma adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune, specializing in costume design and storyboarding. The film was infamously abandoned, but created many new relationships for Moebius, particularly with Jodorowsky and writer Dan O’Bannon.
