Venise Celeste - An Unusual Signed First Printing
Product Code: 52276
This copy is wittily inscribed by the artist: the interior of this book was in bound upside down relative to the covers, so Moebius signed his name upside-down relative to the rest of his inscription: "Moebius [upside-down] to Steve!.. L.A. 85"
This was the first art book published by Moebius' own publishing company Aedena.
For this book, Moebius collects his work based upon the locations he was living at the time of their creation and concludes with artwork for an exhibition in Venice, Italy, and the first publication of the 9-page comic story Venise Celeste.
Many of these images have never published in the US. Text in French. Out of print.
