About the Author

While French artist Jean Giraud was already a well-known comic artist with his hard-boiled western series Blueberry, he built an entire second career under the pen name Moebius beginning in 1963 with a series of short stories. In later years, Moebius would become world famous for his science-fiction, artistic, and erotic art. He is admired for his many collaborations with Alejandro Jodorowsky such as the wordless comics fantasy, Arzach.

In 1983 he co-founded the Aedena company and settled in Los Angeles. During his stay in the USA, he saw his most important works published by Marvel Comics. He also illustrated an episode of Silver Surfer by Stan Lee.

In addition to his large comics and illustration output, Moebius remained active in the film industry as well. In addition to providing preliminary designs for such films as Alien, Tron, The Abyss, Masters of the Universe, and The Fifth Element, Moebius provided concept art for El Topo director Alejandro Jodorowsky's never-realized adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune.

Moebius passed away in Paris on March 10, 2012, at the age of 73

5.0 out of 5 stars Moebius’ Sketches are Amazing
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2023
Verified Purchase
The is a great sketchbook with a loose story connecting it. This should not be looked at as anything more than images loosely connected. Still very fun to see all the characters Moebius made/cocreated interacting with one another. Worth a buy if you’re a huge Moebius fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Irresistible Journey Into the Mind of an Icon
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is an irresistible journey into the mind of Mœbius (Jean Giraud). Originally an exercise to explore his motivations for abstaining from smoking marijuana. Mœbius goes to a place he calls Desert B, a cartoony world where the ordinary laws of physics of the real world don't apply. While there, he encounters some of his creations (Arzak, Blueberry, Major Grubert from "The Airtight Garage") and a younger version of himself who is disappointed with his future self. There is no denying that this is a work of great imagination. If you are a fan of Jean Giraud, then this is a must have, for sure. If you aren't familiar with his work, but like stories of simple truths told in an audacious style, give it a try, you won't be disappointed. I don't often give a work the label "work of genius", but I'm tempted to with this one. A great work of art by one of the icons of the graphic novel world. Can't wait for "Inside Mœbius 2" to come out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good example of Moebius
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2021
Verified Purchase
As a kid, I loved reading Moebius' comics in Heavy Metal. I've always envied his style and to this day try of make that same style my own. This book is very self-referential and gives some good insight into how Moebius feels about his work and some of his characters. It has a cliff-hanger ending to make you get the second volume. I know I will.

4.0 out of 5 stars May not be the Mœbius art you expect but the story is a must read for a Mœbius fan
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2018
Verified Purchase
If your looking for more beautiful Mœbius artwork, similar to his work on The Incal and Edena, look elsewhere. They relate this to a sketchbook / diary of his, and you can see why with the rougher art. They make a point to classify it apart from a sketchbook, because the art is finished and colored. It does still look nice in its own way.
The stand out is the brilliant story, it’s hard to explain but the story is almost an auto-biographical tale on Mœbius and his resolve to quit smoking weed and how it affects him. That doesn’t do the story justice at all, I would definitely recommend it

5.0 out of 5 stars Jean Giraud's mind
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2018

I enjoy the off the cuff, stream of consciousness manner in which this comic is drawn and told, but many fans of Moebius may not. It is not like his more polished and detailed work of the past. It is a journey into Jean Giraud's mind.

Expected lots of complex graphics. Got lots of pages with minimal graphics with disjointed ramblings. Show your thoughts through your art, not words. Write a book instead.

Eine wilde Reise in die Gedankenwelt des späten, kongenialen Jean Giraud aka Moebius.
Die drei Bände von 'Inside Moebius' sind mit dem inkludierten Backround-Material ein oppulentes, nachhaltiges Lesefest. Danke, Jean Giraud!

Estos 3 libros de Dark Horse que conformarán los 6 libros franceses originales son una carta de amor a toda la trayectoria de Jean "Moebius" Giraud donde encontraremos al propio Moebius interactuar para bien o para mal con todas sus creaciones, con un trazo desenfadado y casi en su totalidad por ordenador nos sumerge en el desierto B como sólo Moebius puede abordar los sueños oníricos, esta edición de Dark Horse es simplemente brutal, Por Siempre Moebius!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars At last!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 18, 2018
Verified Purchase
I'm getting older and as each year ticks by, I wait nervously for Dark Horse to release the next Moebius publication translated into English. I'm glad they chose the Inside Moebius series as I've been trying to get onto my own creative path more recently, using my own intuition; listening to myself and not others. I like to hear what an artist has to say about their work as it's often simpler and more relatable and reliable than hearing someone else's interpretation. Book one, underlines for me, the need to be authentic to myself in order to produce my most interesting work, regardless of who understands it, just a few people will do. I hope we see many more of these publications over the coming years. The images are not polished, but I think this gives budding artists an idea of what he produces before polishing it all up - you get an idea of his drawing skills before using reference, before having to think about beautiful detail. This is about ideas and his thought process. It's personal and I love it.
