Moebius/Jean Giraud: s/d

NOOOOOOOOO

man finally just got my hands on some of his stuff in the last few years

yeah, I just grabbed Madwoman of the Sacred Heart a couple weeks ago

Heavy Metal was my first introduction to his stuff, way back as a preteen

How's Madwoman?

yeah was looking at that in the shop, artwork looked a little rougher than usual...? couldn't tell if that was because it was maybe being reprinted bigger than originally or something.

haven't gotten a chance to get to it yet, been reading a friend's copy of The Metabarons, but I think you're maybe right about the art looking blown up

oh shit I forgot that I ended up buying a bunch of Metabarons stuff on clearance I haven't yet read.

Not Moebius stuff, though :(

Just heard, this is really tragic

just started the incal. terrific so far, love the way he captures the story.

After seeing the new Dune and then the Jodorowsky doc and rereading some collected Moebiuses I acquired a while back, I got a bit excited asked for The Incal for Xmas. Luckily I didn't go overboard with the pre/sequels or metabarons as, we'll, it's not very good. Inane, overstuffed and repetitive without any of the charm of, say, the Edena stories.

Moebius is an unimpeachable talent but yeah, he has so much output and story-wise, often weak

Yeah it’s lovely but boring and the ending is Lost-levek dumb

I think he’s a bit like Kirby, I look at the pictures and ignore the words. I liked Blueberry tho

"What if Hergé took a buttload of acid?"

Even if that floats your boat I wouldn't recommend the Humanoids 2020 paperback edition - the text is so thin and small I could barely read it except in the strongest light (lol old but I didn't think my eyesight was that bad); and the introduction is fatuous, vapid, and sexist (hmm maybe it's a good fit after all).
