Moebius was to comics what Queen was to pop music, an unprecedented revelation, and who inspired many to lend, steal, be inspired by his work. Been a fan since my first view of the first Metal Hurlant. Had I just kept them. Oh, regrets.
I was blessed to have had lunch with him once in Toronto when he was on book tour for "Silver Surfer". I brought along my copy of "The Airtight Garage..." for signing as I was both a Moorcock and Moebius fan. I had him sign it to Jerry Cornelius and he was so amused by that that he invited me to lunch w him afterwards. Such a sweet explorer of life. And genius artist.
Jean Giraud was a bloody genius. His ever changing mutant style will not be surpassed for a very long time. It's as if like many illustrators were living in the same body. Cheers from Brazil! Les Maîtres du Temps is one of me favourite films.
I have been noticing pieces of Moebius across my life, through film and random unattributed images, and it wasn't until I was an adult that I could assemble them in order to understand who it was that created them. Then a few years after I finally learned the name and understood the legend the man was gone. It's crazy to realize that it's been twelve years since he died. When an artist, especially one of his caliber, passes away from the world it is like a window to an incredible dimension has been slammed shut with the death. All we have left are the renderings of what existed there, enchanting and awe inspiring memories clinging to paper until time and age utterly wastes them.
An incredibly talented man whose influence will be felt for many years to come. His passing is a huge loss to the world. Thank you for this tribute, you earned a sub.
Moebius is one of my favorite artists!!! Seeing his artwork in the 70s magazine HEAVY METAL made me a true fan. I have some original works by him and some signed prints that are no longer available. Much love to this man from a fellow artist 💛💚💙💜
I hope all of you making bad morbius references end up reading some of his work. You stumbled upon one of the most unique and talented people the world has ever seen.
I'm American and half Japanese. As much as I love American and Japanese comics, it's sad that European comic books and comic artists get lost in the conversation. Moebius' works are amazing.
Thank you for this excellent summary of Jean Giraud's career. He was one of a kind, as was almost the entire staff of Métal Hurlant. Those guys are responsible for the endless hours I spent reading their magazines and all the Sci-Fi stories I could get my hands on instead of doing my homework... Anyway, thank you for your hard work. It's a must see for a Sci-Fi & comics fan like me.
I met Moebius in a comics festival in Athens, Greece, in 1999, with "Freak Brothers" Robert Sheldon who lived in Netherlands at the time and Kaz (from SpongeBob, RAW, New Yorker etc). Nice guys all of them.
In the 70s I scooped up Heavy Metal as each issue appeared. Among the artists Moebius created alien environments with many familiar details that left one with a desire to inhabit those spaces. Long Tomorrow, Incal, and The Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius are genius works. Thanks for this video
The World Of Edena, a fine specimen of a graphic novel, to name one I purchased. The Jodorowsky-mo€bius split, The Incal, seems like it would be incredible, not to mention one short lived super adrenaline filled animation. I bought the book so if I was disappointed in anything regarding this video, so be it.
Ever since I came across Heavy Metal magazine in the early 1980s, I have been hooked on Moebius/Jean Giraud's work. His drawing style has been a huge inspiration to me. It's strange that his other great work: The World of Edena wasn't mentioned here. It was a huge work plus its accompanying book The Art of Edena. A truly great artist with a wonderful sense of humour and great vision and imagination.
Some time ago I uploaded a video about the world of Edena, you can take a look at it whenever you want and I would love to read your opinion in the comments.
Great video! Am I crazy or does The 5 Element also show a lot of Moebius style elements that are in the Harry Canyon episode of the animated film Heavy Metal? The red hair girl dressed in white needs help from a cab driver and the traffic is aerial in an urban setting. The police uniforms look like the prototype for 5th Element cops. Anyway, loved it!
The saga “Le Monde d'Edena” is for me by far his best work. Probably because my father introduced me to Moebius when I was 8 or 9 years old. I didn't really like the story (too complicated for me) but the drawings alone made me experience incredible adventures.
Damn I just noticed Morbius probably helped this video out by how many more views it has above average (that's NOT hate btw loved this video, might be a comic fan but also a history one!)
Very good video, well documented and concise. Although more incidence of Jodorowsky's work was missing - Moebius (Dune) and Star Wars... Since two androids (R2D2 and C3PO) were important in the plot, the image from the millennium falcon when they enter light speed and so on... although it could lead to a video on the subject Like and subscribed!
Everyone was influenced by his style and they still are... It's a shame that Hollywood luminaries didn't know how to appreciate his work with Jorodowsky, to make the movie Dune
@@pdjinne65 Becoming an artist to actually make something out of it has always been difficult, many of my friends have tried it and only one is successful at it
I'm here from youtube recommendations. Don't know why I thoight about Morbius reading the title, but I guess it's just me. This man Morb so hard last decade that he became popular.
I certainly should have mentioned it, but I found out Hayao Miyazaki was inspired by Moebius' work long after he made the video, but thanks for mentioning it.
can anyone please tell me where i can find the painting done by milo manara near the end of your video? The giant woman on the stairs. Ive looked everywhere
Why haven't these been animated? Getting bored of cg animations and already watched popular ghibli movies, I'm looking for more unique animated movies to watch.
@@Android1X watch it the style is in mobius style like it very much .. you might get your fix its a cult classic and the creator noted Mobius a big influence.
Moebius has influenced every major sci-fi movies since the 70's. His art, imagination and spirit will live forever!
Moebius was to comics what Queen was to pop music, an unprecedented revelation, and who inspired many to lend, steal, be inspired by his work. Been a fan since my first view of the first Metal Hurlant. Had I just kept them. Oh, regrets.

Regardless of the Morbius jokes, this channel is really underrated for the amount of good content it puts out, definitely earned a sub!
Thank you very much!
@@ArtShutter what he said xD. Suscribed!
Pity the narrator is absolutely terrible. could only follow every 10th word as mildy sounding like an english word
@@genin69 Guess his pronunciation can improve, until then, You can turn on the perfect subtitles
One of my favorites of all time. I owe a lot to Moebius. God bless him.
Everybody loves Moebius. He had an unique ability to not restrict himself to one style, but was truly free. I wish he had lived 200 more years.
Jean Giraud was a bloody genius. His ever changing mutant style will not be surpassed for a very long time. It's as if like many illustrators were living in the same body.
Cheers from Brazil!
Les Maîtres du Temps is one of me favourite films.

Art has evolved with us and it'll keep evolving, I love these mini documentaries about certain people.
I am glad that you like them

Mœbius was THE genius of all time!
My favourite quote of his was "It's Mœbin time!"
Truly an inspiration to all! 😩👍
Or "I'm Mœbius".
I think that "The world of Edena" should have had some screentime too, it's the most personal of his many stories
Moebius is one of my favorite artists!!! Seeing his artwork in the 70s magazine HEAVY METAL made me a true fan. I have some original works by him and some signed prints that are no longer available. Much love to this man from a fellow artist 💛💚💙💜
Beautiful video! I've loved Moebius since I was a kid. Sad to think it's been ten whole years since we lost him.
I'm glad you liked the video!
Brilliant. As I will forever avow, a single artist can exhibit 1000 times more talent than a nation of scientists!
I love him, I remember my dad showed a Heavy Metal comic. He truly was a genius
I hope all of you making bad morbius references end up reading some of his work.
You stumbled upon one of the most unique and talented people the world has ever seen.
indeed! I am pretty sure I have seen some of his art work in my dreams!
Franco Belgian comics is for me the ultimate form of comics. Still unrivalled.
Was born and raised on Panzer Dragoon so jeans influence has been with me my whole life. true legend.
Idk how this appeared in my recommended but it’s a nice, interesting and entertaining video. Good job!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked the video, it's good to see that there are people who like this type of content.
my favorite part was when gir morbed out and became moebius and everyone in the theaters clapped
It's Mœbin time
There will never be anyone as good as Moebius. A true genius.
The moment I saw the thumbnail, I couldn’t stop thinking that this was a Morbius branded crystal…
Has to be one of the best scenes in cinematic history when Jared Leto said "It's Mœbin time." Truly a masterpiece.
Amazing video, thx for sharing. I love the work of Moebius especially The Incal and time master’s
I'm glad you liked it!

As a teenager, I did not know the names of many artists. But, I sure knew Moebius. I read his Heavy Metal comics over and over.
I met Moebius in a comics festival in Athens, Greece, in 1999, with "Freak Brothers" Robert Sheldon who lived in Netherlands at the time and Kaz (from SpongeBob, RAW, New Yorker etc). Nice guys all of them.

Oh boy.. it's about 35 years ago I bought my first version of the incal..
It isn't morbin' time, it's Moebin' time!
Pure genius. My biggest art inspiration. Thanks for the video!

Moebius not only met Osamu Tezuka, but he also struck up a friendship with Hayao Miyazaki.
My favorite artist. And so productive. Still don’t have all his works on the shelf.
I love it when he said morbius
El más grande. Amo y admiro su trabajo.
It's Mœbing time!
I finally learned how to pronounce this great artist's pseudonym.
Also inspired Miyazaki's Nauiscaa too!
Morbius
It’s funny how you see certain art and it resonates with you , only to find out the artist is interested in the same things you are.
So many good and interesting things in contemporary art came from this one man, and this video really captures that.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment
Ah yes the doctor Michael Moebius
YEESSSSSSSS!!!!

Strange that you don’t have more subscribers, your videos are quite amazing.
awesome I love his art :)
Very cool content! I was already a Moebius fan but it's always nice to refresh my memory. There's also been images I've never seen before. Good stuff!
Thanks, I'm glad you like the content, especially Moebius.

He was involved in an early stage of the production designing some elements of the film

Glad I found your channel! I'll watch your video on Phillipe Caza's work next
Phillipe Caza's video has been liked by many people, I hope you like it too

morbius

@Suebian The new remake sure isn't Dune lol...
I morbed after watching this, how do I unmorbed myself.
It's MOEBING time
Thank you
Your welcome
Great video, thank you for this!
Your welcome! Cheers
The environment drawing got slight resemblance in the earlier work of Dragon Ball
Big Hollywood producers!!! Vomit. Vomit. Every artist, writer and actor is head and shoulders above all those shallow businessmen in Bramblewood...
We still need Jodorowsky's Dune 😁
Just like mangaka, they're barely paid and overworked, it's an impossible career choice nowadays...

You should mention Ghiblis Nausicaa, which was basically Moebius tribute
I certainly should have mentioned it, but I found out Hayao Miyazaki was inspired by Moebius' work long after he made the video, but thanks for mentioning it.
@@ArtShutter I just heard that Moebius became friends with Miyazaki and named his daughter after Nausicaa, awesome

One of the art of all time
