#metalhurlant

10 years ago on this day we lost the artist who defined early Heavy Metal more than any other—and also defined Métal Hurlant for that matter—Jean “Moebius” Giraud. Moebius was an extraordinary artist, whose images were always elegant yet never simple. He was truly a visionary, foreseeing not only the appeal of Heavy Metal (he was one of the four “Humanoïdes Associés” who launched Métal Hurlant) but envisioning the look of science fiction we know from Alien, Blade Runner, Tron, The Fifth Element, and more. This piece was used as the wraparound cover art for Moebius Comics #6, published in 1997 by Caliber Comics.
