Jean Girauds alias / Moebius / first popped up in 1963, in a series of short stories published in Hara - Kiri. In later years, Moebius would become world famous for his science - fiction, artistic and erotic art. He is admired for his many collaborations with Alejandro Jodorowsky, like the wordless comic fantasy 'Arzach', and for his numerous works for Métal Hurlant.
Starting in 1969, Moebius made a series of science - fiction illustrations for Opta, which marked the beginning of Giraud's exploits outside the mainstream. It was in Métal Hurlant (aka Heavy Metal), for example, where Moebius first serialized 'Arzach'. Moebius and Jodorowsky have been called the masters of science - fiction ever since, and that is probably why they were asked to assist in the making of various famous science - fiction movies, like Star Wars / Dune / TRON and James Camerons Aliens.
During his stay in the USA, he saw his most important works published by Marvel. He also illustrated an episode of The Silver Surfer. In addition to his large comics and illustration output, Moebius remained active in the Cinematic Arts as well.

Remember remember the fifth of November lol. I so remember you showing me Moebius like a couple of years ago I was blown away, His work is very spiritual and has lots of sexual connotations. I love the one black and white piece you showed me. It was made up of all these little beings and made up like a shrine. That is my favorite Mobius piece. Do you perhaps remember that one?
Hey Renaissance Girl / i do remember that super rare art piece indeed, and as a matter of fact / my next post were going to be focused on those hand drawn pieces.
I went flickr hunting last night really late just to find them and I found all the missing pieces that is the Jean Giraud Puzzle. So look out for it, and enjoy:)
