For some reason, I don't feel sad in the least. It's kind of awesome seeing all these Moebius fans coming out of the woodwork. Let us all smoke Gitanes, drink espresso and read The Incal while pursing our lips and gesticulating wildly

I'm remarkably saddened by this. What a hero, for any artist.

as we passed by the shattered remnants of the Metreon at GDC 2012, we poured one out for Moebius' Airtight Garage

Enough mourning, let's post awesome art in this thread. Jean Giraud is dead, long live Moebius!

Sean Witzke's obit was fantastic. His love and appreciation for Moebius is second to none.

Another amazing take, that attempts to get to the heart of why we want to look at Moebius more than actually read:
