I've heard about him when he was linked to being the original creator of Heavy Metal.

RIP

Superb, very influential artist.  He was also a major contributor to the French "Metal Hurlant", which was the main inspiration for Heavy Metal magazine.

RIP.

So true, all the greats are passing on...loved his Arzach work growing up.  A great visualist who really brought an incredibly fresh perspective to comics.

Gone... I think not. His legend lives on in his works that inspired generations of artists that followed his lead and also in the dreams of the minds he influences with his work.  Moibus achievements will still be influencing generations to come.  

Something to aspire torwards - after all its a just a ride, ride, ride ....on Heavy Metal!

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.

visit www.aRtBeeWeb.nl (works) or Missing Manuals (tutorials & reviews) - both need an update though

Ack!  Misread an thought you were referring to the "mobius" who was a modeler, texture artist, and early posting member here (or PFO) from back in '99!
