Jean Henri Gaston Giraud (8 May 1938 – 10 March 2012) was a French comics artist, working in the French tradition of bandes dessinées. Giraud earned worldwide fame, predominantly under the pseudonym Mœbius, and to a lesser extent Gir (used for the Blueberry series), the latter appearing mostly in the form of a boxed signature at the bottom of the artist's paintings. - WikipediaSomeone said that Moebius either worked on, or had an influence in, the greatest science-fiction films ever made. He worked on Alien, Tron, The Fifth Element, Star Wars V, and Jodorowsky's unmade adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. His use of color and detail is legendary and it was a sad day when he died earlier this year.
George Lucas approached him in late 1980s to work on his fantasy film Willow.
