<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Working closely with publisher Casterman and Moebius Production, Dark Horse now brings you Numa Sadoul's landmark interviews with Jean Moebius Giraud. The master reflects on his many lives as an artist and man, from his<i> Heavy Metal </i>breakthrough era to a year before his untimely passing.</b> <p/>Numa Sadoul--whose exclusive fourteen-hour interview with Hergé in 1971 was the basis of the 2003 documentary <i>Tintin and I</i>--is known for his book-length conversations with such major comics figures as Jacques Tardi, André Franquin (<i>Spirou</i>), and Albert Uderzo (co-creator of <i>Astérix</i>). Edward Gauvin, translator of over three hundred graphic novels, brings us Sadoul's English-language debut, as he explores maestro Moebius's mind.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>While French artist Jean Giraud was already a well-known comic artist with his hard-boiled western series <i>Blueberry</i>, 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, <i>Arzach</i>.<br/><br/>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 <i>Silver Surfer</i> by Stan Lee.<br/><br/>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 <i>Alien</i>, <i>Tron</i>, <i>The Abyss</i>, <i>Masters of the Universe</i>, and <i>The Fifth Element</i>, Moebius provided concept art for <i>El Topo</i> director Alejandro Jodorowsky's never-realized adaptation of Frank Herbert's <i>Dune</i>.<br/><br/>Moebius passed away in Paris on March 10, 2012, at the age of 73.
