Moebius
« on: May 08, 2010, 06:31:59 am »

Has anyone here come across any Moebius comics? He's a french artist responsible for may comics printed in heavy metal magazine in the 70s and 80s. His work has had a major influence over the design of films such as bladerunner and the Fifth element.

hes released alot of work.. but its pretty much all out of print (especially in English). Does anyone know where you can get in print english editions at a resonable price? Is anyone else on the search for unusual artists in any shape or form?

I haven't been able to get any vomit this release. Not any I can pick up, at any rate.
Swans, too. Swans are complete bastards.

Not any of his comics per se but I do own a book of his art work. He designed the space suits in the film Alien. Beyond the book I own I've seen nothing else for sale. Pity really.

When I first saw this thread I thought you were talking about things like this: http://xkcd.com/381/
