Moebius has given me so crazy-much, crazy-great artistic joy from swiping Heavy Metal issues from the local drug store magazine rack and leaving cash in its place as a pre-teen to the stuff I am still discovering in recent years.

Moebius has given me so crazy-much, crazy-great artistic joy from swiping Heavy Metal issues from the local drug store magazine rack and leaving cash in its place as a pre-teen to the stuff I am still discovering in recent years. I was a bit older when I encountered him than when I first got to experience Barks and Segar, but Moebius hit me like a meteor. He had a similarly profound imagination mixed with such a high level of craft and output and the genius to tell stories without any text necessary. His stuff is some of the strongest proof that the definition of comics absolutely does not require text (I was going to joke that we shouldn't tell JH, but so many of my favorite comics of his have been wordless or nearly wordless). Even his Marvel posters each managed to tell a story in a single panel when you looked really close.
Anyway, thanks for this conversation and the art accompanying it.
