Re: RIP Moebius
I admit I was not as familiar with Jean "Moebius" Giraud as most, but I always enjoyed THE FIFTH ELEMENT, which relied heavily on his fantastic concept designs for the costumes, production design and sheer madness of its universe. Rest in peace, Moebius. Not many graphic designers get to go by a fancy nickname and get taken seriously.

I can't remember the name of the strip right now but I really liked his series with the guy on the flying pterydactal (sp) in an alien world. Great stuff.

Re: RIP Moebius
I loved his work, although most of it remained in my "to read someday" list. I vaguely recall being introduced to the Blueberry stories through some Epic graphic novels, but I may be off.
