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.

Career Timeline: 1987 - The Legend of Arzach
Moebius, along with Randy and Jean-Marc Lofficier, return to Arzach with its first worded story. Their hope at the time was to expand the universe of the character in order to sell a film or animated series.

Career Timeline: 1975 - Metal Hurlant, no. 4
Moebius does the cover for the second time, and contributes his third full Arzach strip, entitled Arzak.

This issue is kind of Druillet-dominant. Moebius’ contributions are a few editorials, the beginning chapter of a novella, and Harzak, his second Arzach strip.
Career Timeline: 1975 - Metal Hurlant, no. 1
I’ve read that this was released in December ‘74 in some places, and in January ‘75 in others. For the sake of this timeline, I’m going with ‘75. Moebius contributed the famous first cover, Approaching Centauri(written by Druillet), Split, the Little Space Pioneer, the first legendary Arzach strip, and The Mysteries of Eroticism, pt 2. He also wrote an essay/editorial or two in each issue.
[thanks to Joe McCulloch for helping me clarify per-issue content with the Hurlant stuff]
[the colored pages of Approaching Centauri and Split were printed in Moebius 4: The Long Tomorrow & Other Science Fiction Stories]
First edition of ARZACH, published by Les Humanoïdes Associés, June 1976 (217mm x 276mm). Contains the stories ARZACH, HARZAK, ARZAK, and HARZAKC.
