MOEBIUS was the main reason I used to buy Heavy Metal magazine (the American version of France’s Metal Hurlant) whenever I saw a new copy on the newsstand. I met him at the World Fantasy Con in Saratoga Springs some years ago and he was genuinely happy and excited to talk about Emsh, who, he told me, inspired him to become an illustrator and artist. As a teenager I wanted to draw like Moebius…I still do. A real lost to pop culture, science fiction, comics, and the art world.
