Moebius is an author! Or rather his pen name, his real name was Jean Giraud. He was an illustrator and comic artist and his works signed as Moebius are my favorites because they’re often the weird colorful dreamy fantasy stuff! He’s done a lot of comics but if you like the ones I specifically post about here’s a quick rundown of the ones you should check out :

• Arzak the Surveyor OR Arzach (theres like five different spellings)(i partially read) is a comic about a man who rides his giant white bird-plane over a desert he looks after. Sci-fantasy, I dig it for the lone warrior/wanderer trope as well as it’s world. If you cannot find the comics I also recommend watching the cartoon adaptation on YouTube, where someone uploaded it entirely with english captions - the cartoon is also family friendly (which the comic isn’t)

• The Airtight Garage (i have not read it) is another of his famous comics. Don’t know much about it apart that the visuals are cool
• The Incal (i have fully read!)(actually written by A. Jodorowsky, Moebius did the art)(18+) is a sci-fi comic who’s story is very hard to describe, being written by Jodorowsky. The main character is a private detective and grade A looser who finds himself in the middle of a weird intrigue surrounding an artefact called the Incal. It’s set in an imaginary cyberpunk megapolis with it’s own political/religious factions that’s very terribly 80s. You probably know the spinoff called Metabarons. If you liked Morrowind’s themes of doing wild shit and becoming God then it’s probably up your alley. (also theres a character thats basically Vivec, coincidence idk)
• The Eyes of the Cat (i fully read)(also a collaboration with Jodorowsky) is a very short graphic novel with really cool art that pops up regularly on tumblr. Takes three minutes to read through and it’s rad

• The World of Edena (i partially read) is a comic about two people just..? wandering around having space adventures. It’s as cool a world as Arzak’s but the fact you follow two characters makes it more human and less lonely. Very chill

• 42 days in the désert B is a collection of black and white illustrations based on the world Arzak is from. It’s pretty. If you do art check it out just for the inkwork because boy was Moebius good with that

Finally he also did concept art for (again) Jodorowsky, for the infamous failed film adaptation of Dune, a cowboy comic named Blueberry which I read as a kid but rarely post about, the Silver Surfer, a comic biopic that’s very fun to read, and a lot of short stories for Heavy Metal Magazine!
