Descrição da editora
Working closely with Moebius Production in France, Dark Horse presents the final part of Moebius's Inside Moebius series.
In this third and most surreal volume, Jean "Moebius" Giraud exists in an expansive, magical desert locale within his subconscious. He not only meets and talks with several of his own creations--like Stel, Blueberry, Major Grubert, and Arzak--but he encounters versions of himself from multiple decades and argues with them about art and creativity. This final volume also features the last interview segment about this strange series between the artist and Isabelle Giraud. Translation by World of Edena translator Diana Schutz.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dark Horse's beautifully produced Moebius Library continues with a meandering, experimental self-examination from late in the artist's career. Drawn during the 2000s, when Giraud was in his 60s and 70s, the work depicts the artist's wanderings through his inner creative space, called "Desert B," as he searches for inspiration and tries to give up the marijuana he smokes while working. He flies through the air, locks himself in boxes, and holds confabs with his characters, his long-haired younger self, and Osama bin Laden. Giraud departs from the precise clear-line detail associated with his art, sketching the stream-of-consciousness narrative in loose but unerring strokes. With his lifetime of experience, drawing is as automatic as breathing, and his pages are carelessly gorgeous. (His characters scoff at his art: "In any case, that's all he knows how to do.") Whether all this is worth reading depends on the collector's level of attachment to Moebius's often rambling thoughts, near the end of his life, on topics ranging from the creative process or his friends in the French comics industry to women's rights and September 11. But wherever Moebius wanders, it always looks stunning.
