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.

RELEASE NEWS (exclusively from Quenched Consciousness and the Stumptown Comics Festival)
Angel’s Claws(once called just Angel Claw), the smutty, hardcore, stream-of-sexual-consciousness comic by Moebius and Alejandro Jodorowsky, is being re-released by Humanoids this December. It will be an Eyes of the Cat style super-big hardcover, and I believe it will be priced the same, at $69.95.

Career Timeline: 1989
Alejandro Jodorowsky writes a short Metabaron comic for Moebius to draw, that he would parlay into a longer series drawn by Juan Jiménez. This short saw publication in America in the anthology series A1, issue 4.
El Topo by Spain Rodriguez
Originally published alongside an interview with Alejandro Jodorowsky in Art Spiegelman’s Douglas Comix(1972), reprinted in Stephen Bissette’s Taboo #4(1990). This is what directly follows the first English publication of Moebius & Jodorowsky’s Eyes of the Cat in Taboo #4. It’s not really Moebius-related, I just think it’s fantastic.
Career Timeline: 1988 - The Incal: The Fifth Essence, Book 2
The Incal: The Fifth Essence concludes, along with the Incal series proper. Alejandro Jodorowsky would continue expanding this universe with multiple series like The Metabarons with artist Juan Giménez, and The Technopriests with artist Zoran Janjetov. He would also return to The Incal with a prequel called Before the Incal, again with Janjetov as artist, and a sequel called Final Incal, with artist José Ladrönn.
