The Phalanx Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 http://www.thesnipenews.com/features/homepage-features/moebius-death/ For those who don't know, Moebius was highly influential comic book artist in the euro-comic scene and later, worldwide thanks to his work on western comics and movies such as Alien and Tron. His work appeared in a few video games, namely Panzer Dragoon (which was inspired by one of his comics), and three arcade machines and a bar in the Metreon in San Francisco were based on his work. To say that I'm sad he's gone is an understatement.

PROTO·DOME Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wow, odd art style. Like a quasi-art nouveau/classic manga/old sci-fi book cover thing going on. Never heard of the guy before; shame really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychowolf Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 This is a real shame, i hadn't seen much of his artwork but i had seen reminded me of Salvador Dali's style of quirkiness to bring the lifeless to life. Jean seemed to have relentless untapped imagination. As an amateur art lover that i am i can't bring justice to his work or his skills as an artist. But at age 75 he must of surely had a for filled and happy life. The artist may have passed on but his work will live on forever.
