Remember that post about Paul Pope covering a Moebius panel? Apparently this has turned into a meme, with some fantastic artists throwing in their two cents. The above “remix” was done by Ronald Wimberly, aka D(pi). Also taking part are the amazing Brandon Graham(who I noticed has linked to this tumblr before), and sugar-shock-in-human-form Corey “The Reyyy” Lewis.

Paul Pope did a series of what he calls “covers” of other artist’s work. He likened it to covering a song, and this was his Moebius cover, from page 3 of The Apple Pie.

Published in Ah Nana magazine in the late 70’s:

In 1976, the French magazine Ah ! Nana was launched. It was inspired by the feminist underground comix from the USA, published by Humanoïdes Associés and was an attempt to branch out of Metal Hurlant by the same editor with a majority of female artists. It tried to adhere to the rock’n’roll attitude of the former magazine, and sometimes featured male artists from the magazine, such as Jacques Tardi and Moebius. Every issue was built around a theme, such as nazism or homo- and transsexuality. Issue 7, 1978, about sadomasochism was deemed pornography and was forbidden to sell to minors below 18 years of age, a rule which, by extension forbade kiosks to advertise the magazine, thus cutting off a large deal of the magazine’s market outlets. In the end, this forced the cancellation of the magazine due to bad sales, through means considered by the authors as censorship of a feminist voice. The last issue was issue 9, themed around incest. There hasn’t been any comics magazine in the Franco-Belgian market like that, afterwards
