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.

I don’t believe in an afterlife, but with Moebius, it somehow makes sense. Wherever he is, my voice joins in with the chorus of countless others singing out our thanks to him.

Over at the Electric Ant Zine Blog, artist Ryan Sands has assembled a staggeringly great list of artists to undertake a project to cover every one of Moebius’ 1993 collector card series.
All of the images in the left column are original card art by Moebius. In the right, in descending order, are covers by Jesse Balmer, Dustin Harbin, Michael DeForge, and Olle Forsslöf.
Check the rest out here. They’re all amazing.

Jean Giraud-Moebius (1938-2012)
Hoy ha fallecido uno de los artistas de la historieta e ilustración más influyentes de nuestro siglo. Para mi, sin duda, el mejor narrador que he leido. De linea mágica…maestría en cada trazo. Difícil de explicar todo lo que este maestro me ha dado. A mi y miles como yo que, intentando mejorar un poco cada día en esto de dibujar, nos hemos empapado de su oficio y saber contar. No hay palabras que puedan devolver todo lo que de él he aprendido…se quedarían cortas.
Mi más humilde homenaje…maestro.Buen viaje.
