RIP Jean Giraud, aka Moebius

[Lonemagpie]

Not that many young US or UK comics readers will know who he is... Suffice to say this is big sad news for the comics industry and SFF genre.

[Mr. Adventure]

Along with McQuarrie that's quite a blow to artistic visionaries.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

He was one of the greatest and most influential comic book artists ever. Very sad news that he's passed. Rest in peace, Jean Giraud.

 

[Cutter John]

Very sad news.

 

[Klaus]

Bummer.

 

[ManOnTheWave]

Crap.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Just finished writing an orbituary for a German website. He was one of the greatest artist, period.
