Jean Giraud lives one of the most interesting double lives in comics history. Under his own name, he is the artist of the legendary 'Blueberry' western series, and under the pseudonym of Moebius, he is one of the most innovative artists of the 20th century. After having followed several art studies since a very young age, like at the School of Applied Arts in Paris, Giraud drew his first comics and illustrations for Far-West ('Frank et Jérémie'), Sitting-Bull, Fripounet et Marisette, Âmes Vaillantes and Coeurs Vaillants in the mid-1950s.

He served his military service in Algeria, where he collaborated on the army magazine '5/5 Forces Françaises'. Back in civil life, he learned the finer points of the comics profession from Jijé, whom he assisted on the episode 'La route de Coronado' of the western series 'Jerry Spring' in Spirou. For the advertising company of Benoît Gillain, Jijé's son, Giraud contributed to advertising comics Bonux-Boy and Total-Journal. He additionally worked with Jean-Claude Mézières on the collection 'L'Histoire des Civilisations' of Hachette in 1961-62.

When Jean-Michel Charlier offered Jijé the scenario for a new western series, Jijé proposed Giraud as the artist and 'Blueberry' was born. The series' first episode 'Fort Navajo', premiered in Pilote magazine in 1963. 'Blueberry' soon became the highlight of European western comics, evolving from a classic adventure series into a hard-boiled action comic. It got several spin-offs throughout the years, such as 'La Jeunesse de Blueberry' and 'Marshall Blueberry'. Giraud didn't work on all these series, but, from 1991, he did take on scriptwriting 'Marshall Blueberry' (artwork William Vance and later Michel Rouge).

Since the late 1960s, Giraud had begun building up a parallel, more experimental oeuvre under the pseudonym Moebius. Under his own name, he kept on working on 'Blueberry' and its spin-offs, and created a new character with Charlier for a special 1976 issue of Pilote, 'Jim Cutlass'.

A one-shot at first, the strip was revived by Christian Rossi in 1987 and continued in À Suivre with art by Rossi and scripts by Giraud from 1990. Upon a disagreement with publisher Dargaud, Giraud continued 'Blueberry' in magazines like Super-As and Métal Hurlant from 1979.

Moebius

Giraud's penname Moebius first popped up in 1963, in a series of short stories published in Hara-Kiri. In later years, Moebius would become world famous for his science-fiction, artistic and erotic art. He is admired for his many collaborations with Alejandro Jodorowsky, like the wordless comix fantasy 'Arzach', and for his numerous works for Métal Hurlant. Starting in 1969, Moebius made a series of science-fiction illustrations for Opta, which marked the beginning of Giraud's exploits outside the mainstream.

Citar:L'Étoile


In the following years, Moebius appeared in L'Écho des Savanes with 'Cauchemar Blanc', at Éditions du Fromage with 'Le Bandard Fou', and in Pilote with 'L'Homme est-il Bon?'. In 1975, Moebius, along with Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Philippe Druillet and Bernard Farkas, co-founded Les Humanoïdes Associés and launched Métal Hurlant, the immensely influential French comics magazine of the 1970s. It was in Métal Hurlant, for example, where Moebius first serialized 'Arzach'. Moebius and Jodorowsky have been called the masters of science-fiction ever since, and that is probably why they were asked to assist in the making of various famous science-fiction movies, like 'Dune'.

Also for Métal Hurlant, Moebius/Gir produced works like 'Le Garage Hermétique', 'The Long Tomorrow', 'Double Évasion' and 'Citadelle Aveugle'. With Jodorowsky, he created the futuristic detective 'John Difool' in 1980. After a first saga published in six volumes by Les Humanoïdes between 1981 and 1988, Moebius handed over the graphical duties of this series to his student Zoran Janjetov.

From 1983, Moebius was also active in merchandising his properties. He co-founded the Aedena company and settled in Los Angeles. During his stay in the USA, he saw his most important works published by Marvel. He also illustrated an episode of 'Silver Surfer' by Stan Lee, and cooperated with Jean-Marc Lofficier on the scripts of 'The Elsewhere Prince and 'The Onyx Overlord', respectively drawn by Eric Shanower and Jerry Bingham. Under his Aedena label, he produced the portfolio 'La Cité-Feu' with Geoff Darrow, and scripted 'La Nuit de l'Étoile' for Marc Bati. Also with Bati, he made 'Cristal Majeur' at Dargaud, a series that was later retitled to 'Altor'.

n 1989, he returned to Europe, where he began a collaboration with the magazine À Suivre. Besides the scripts for the 'Jim Cutlass' series under his own name, he began the cycle 'Le Monde d'Edena', a series that originated in the story 'Sur l'Étoile', a 1983 promotional comic for Citroen. In 1992, he worked with Jodorowsky again on 'Le Coeur Couronné', a graphic novel for Les Humanoïdes Associés, which was continued in the 'La Folle du Sacré-Coeur' series.

In 1994, he began a new version of Winsor McCay's classic 'Little Nemo' series, drawn by Bruno Marchand, and took on 'Mr. Mouche' with Coudray. He also made 'L'Homme de Ciguri', the long awaited sequel of 'Le Garage Hermétique'. He subsequently participated in collective projects and wrote 'Ikaru' for Jiro Taniguchi in the Japanese magazine Morning. Moebius joined Jodorowsky yet again for the erotic one-shot 'Griffes d'Ange' in 1995 and a new cycle called 'Après l'Incal', published by Les Humanoïdes from 2000.

In addition to his large comics and illustration output, Moebius remained active for the cinema as well. He has done storyboards for among others Disney's 1980 film 'Tron', and in 1985, he did the scripts, backgrounds and costume design for the 'Little Nemo' feature film in Tokyo. In the 1990s, he worked on film projects like 'Starwatcher' and a movie adaptation of 'Le Garage Hermétique', which remained unreleased due to financial problems.
