They were visionary, incredibly realistic trips into a future containing visually beautiful but often shocking political messages.

Through his work, the man enabled us to see the worlds of what might be.

We are most fortunate, indeed.

and one of my favorites "Is man good"? done as an youtube animation

No two sides to it.

He will be missed.

Some industry posts on Moebius:

Hugely influential among other creatives. Like Neil Gaiman, his post on Moebius linked above, Ridley Scott, Luc Besson (take a look at this work and see how much was spawned from Moebius' visions: http://www.sci-fi-o-rama.com/2008/09/30/mobieus-the-long-tomorrow/ ) to name just a very few.

Thanks for posting this, Onehandle.

RIP Moebius.

I wonder if we will ever see his like again.

Geoff Darrow (I think that's how it's spelled.)

The detail of his art is phenomenal! His style also has that European-comic look to it. "Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot" is one of his early comics and worth seeking out

I'll miss Mobius as well. I was introduced to him through Heavy Metal magazine, and bought many subsequent TPB collections. Such a great influence on comics, movies, and animation.

called Hard Boiled with Frank Miller. I've never seen such detailed art, and it looks amazing. (Shame about Miller, though. He's really gone off the deep end, politics-wise, these last several years.)

I couldn't remember the name of that comic. I only recalled that the main character was a "Tax Man", but won't spoil it for those that haven't read the comic.

What surprised me from the wiki entry was that Darrow had worked with Moebius, and considers him one of four artistic influences

Didn't know that about Miller. I haven't read his stuff (or any comics) in a long time.

I'll have to go and see what Comics Journal has to say about Moebius...

Incredible vision, and a true craftsman as well.

I seem to remember the name and that's about the only exposure I would have had.

with the segment "Taarna". In a thread over in The Lounge, someone had brought up the subject of "The Star Wars Christmas Special" and posted the cartoon portion. As soon as I saw one of the characters, I noted how he looked like one of the elders in Taarna. If you look at other details, you can see his influence on the backgrounds as well as the way the characters are realized.

And, he worked with Syd Mead on Tron. That was just on this morning, so I had to stop and watch. Syd Mead's style certainly shows in the design of the lightcycles.

Heavy Metal, at least in it's relevant years.
