Comment

Original painting from Moebius, preliminary for the cover of the comics "Static" issue 45, dated 1993.

A good exemple of Moebius talent to adapt its style to the US super heroes usual characters, without losing his "european" specificities and own master capability.

Additional images: the final version and the published comic book's cover.

4 by 5 inches. Signed

Version préparatoire de la couverture originale en couleurs directes de Moebius, pour le "comics" américain "Static" n°45, publié en 1993. Ou comment faire semblant de se plier aux exigences des standards des super-héros DC sans renoncer en rien à son talent de Maître européen!

10,1 x 12,7 cm. Signée.

Images additionnelles: la version finale et la couverture publiée du magazine "Static".

About Moebius

Jean Henri Gaston Giraud was a French artist, cartoonist and writer who worked in the Franco-Belgian bandes dessinées (BD) tradition. Giraud garnered worldwide acclaim predominantly under the pseudonym Mœbius and to a lesser extent Gir which he used for the Blueberry series and his Western themed paintings. Esteemed by Federico Fellini, Stan Lee and Hayao Miyazaki among others, he has been described as the most influential bandes dessinées artist after Hergé. His most famous works include the series Blueberry, created with writer Jean-Michel Charlier, featuring one of the first anti-heroes in Western comics. As Mœbius he created a wide range of science fiction and fantasy comics in a highly imaginative, surreal, almost abstract style. These works include Arzach and the Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius. He also collaborated with avant-garde filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky for an unproduced adaptation of Dune and the comic book series The Incal. Mœbius also contributed storyboards and concept designs to numerous science fiction and fantasy films, such as Alien, Tron, The Fifth Element and The Abyss. Blueberry was adapted for the screen in 2004 by French director Jan Kounen.

MattMurdock Etonnant de voir Moebius travailler sur un personnage si mineur. Si la pose très "Surfer d'argent" est évidente, il compense en transformant l'imperméable du héros en cape mystérieuse.
