Moebius (Jean Giraud) comics artist has died.

Anyone remember him? I love his way of drawing; and these psychedelic stories...
I knew he was the concept artist for the film The Alien, but now I read he also did concept art for Tron, The Abyss and The Fifth Element.
He was really a great artist.

Aww dangit. Remember reading some of his stuff when I was younger, some good stuff.

I used to read Blueberry, a lot.

This spread like wildfire on artist/illustrator Facebook and Twitter yesterday.
Pissed me off, sure did.

As a child/teenager I read 'Wonders of the Universe' and was deeply impressed by the psychedelic drawings.
Never read Blueberry.

Hey, I have one of his artworks as my desktop background. Now I have to make the time to read/look at everything he ever did, but I think I'll live somehow.
