Jean giraud moebius 1 upon a star

Of all my reviews here at Hollywood metal, my favorite are when I get to review lesser known material. Be it albums, movies, or comics. Delving into a work either lightly tread or momentarily forgotten is a wonderful experience. I do not think Jean Giraud, better known as Moebius, is a particularly obscure comic artist, but rather he is lesser known than other fantasy comic artists. His work lies down a path that is accessible to anyone who travels a little bit farther into fantasy comics. Though it is easy to poke fun at cheesy fantasy comics with wooden story-lines, the work of Moebius is so vastly different than this, that it is hard to consider it part of the same genre. Almost all of these panels make great wallpapers for computers or phone. I may have a couple of them already set. It was during this time that Moebius would create some of his most iconic work including Azrach as well as The Airtight Garage. Both of those stories are fine points for a fantasy discussion, however the topic for this review is a piece that was conceived, oddly enough, by a car company. What started as an obligation triggered a 40 page long story with prequels, sequels, and related stories. The Star and all stories related to The Adena Cycle have become sometimes overlooked gems that showcase a nexus between pulp, art, and spirituality. While the magazine Heavy Metal is known for its low brow humor and juvenile sexuality, the artists in connection sometimes have stunning and existentially provocative work. Sometimes they have both but that is another story. One really sets themselves up for a cosmic personality when flying pyramids enters their thought process.

The art style of Moebius is very simple and detailed yet its not messy at the same time. Drew Canole.

This is the first book in a series collecting the works of French comics maestro Jean Giraud Moebius. Moebius to me, is an icon. An artist of monolithic stature whose works are like visual scriptures, full of wonder and meaning. You can can totally get lost in his art, and that is one of best qualities of an accomplished artist and storyteller such as him. The first story is called The Repairman a short prequel to the main story. We are introduced to two characters; space-travelling mechanic Stel and his associate Atan, who are called to repair a vehicle on an alien planet.

Displaying 1 - 30 of 33 reviews. Volumes published between This is still a nice sampling of Moebius' lesser known works, and demonstrates the immense range he had as an artist. It's kind of odd that Marvel chose this to kick off their Moebius reprint series back in the day. Other stories collected in here are "The Repairman", "Aedena" and "Celestial Venice", all of which looked good but were rather forgettable reads. The business and military personnel soon shed all trappings of age, rank, and class and become eternal beings free to enjoy the next stage in cosmic evolution. And has been for a while, but reading through this book the other day at the fantastic Merril Collection in Toronto was a soul-slapping experience -- a wakeup.

Condition: New. Connoisseur of weird science fiction and horror comics. It's a shame that Giraud's spiritual inputs on his sci-fi short stories are really shallow, at least when compared to what he does in his later works, such as the Incal. For a story, the Star is very reserved in actual narrative. Can't remember the title or the author of a book? New Copy. It is a stunning story, absolutely gorgeous to behold and with a strong feeling of beauty and wonderment; this is what real science fiction is, it makes you question, and gives you inspirations and fuels your dreams. Also published as Jean Giraud. Even though some of the stories were commissioned by companies with a different audience, they still feel like personal works. Rate this book. The volume concludes with Celestial Venice , a paean to Venice. His death this week prompted me to pick up his works again and dive into that bizarre world that he always conjured, and I'm enjoying the journey!
