    Career

    Comic Books

    In 1962, Moebius teamed up with writer, Jean-Michel Charlier and started up a comic strip called Fort Navajo for Pilote magazine. It was greatly acclaimed and continued uninterrupted for the next 12 years. Lieutenant Blueberry became its most popular character, and his adventures in the spin-off, Blueberry are Moebius' best known work in France. In Europe, comics are considered high art and France has even issued postage stamps in his honor.

    Moebius did strips from 1963 to 1964 in a magazine called Hara-Kiri and then disappeared for many years. Then in 1975, he co-created a magazine entitled Metal Hurlant In 1981, he started his immensely popular Incal series with Alejandro Jodorowsky. Arzach and the serial, Airtight Garage, also had their origins in Metal Hurlant.

    In 1988 Moebius drew a two-part The Silver Surfer limited series with writer, Stan Lee.

    In 2003 Moebius collaborated with the mangaka, Jiro Taniguchi, on Icaro.

    Movies/TV Shows

    Moebius’ vision of The Surfer was ridiculed in the film Crimson Tide by the character of Lt. Commander Ron Hunter, played by Denzel Washington, in a scene written by a then unknown, Quentin Tarantino. In contrast, Moebius achieved a monumental screen triumph with his design work on the 1997 film, The Fifth Element.
