"Giraud was born in France in May 1938 and, in his 20s, made his reputation with Les Aventures de Blueberry, penned by Jean-Michel Charlier. In 1974, the artist launched the adult sci-fi and fantasy comics anthology Métal Hurlant (Heavy Metal). He inspired the design of many sci-fi movies including Ridley Scott’s films Alien and Blade Runner, Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, and Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element. "Moebius is to comic books what Miles Davis is to jazz: the master," Besson once said. Giraud died after a battle with cancer. He was 73."
