An invaluable resource on one of the masters of the ninth art!

Conducted over 30 years, interviewer Numa Sadould captured Jean Giraud in 1974-75, 1988-89, and then 2000-11. Three very different periods in Giraud's life and career.

The entire career of Jean Giraud/Mœbius: childhood, the discovery of jazz, drugs, sex, the legendary collaborations with Charlier and Jodorowsky, instinct therapy... through 30 years of interviews, carried out until the very end of the life of the cartoonist, who died in 2012. Richly illustrated, these fascinating interviews offer a complete vision of this extraordinary creator.

This text heavy tome was translated from the French by friend of the store, the award-winning translator Edward Gauvin.

From the publisher:

Working closely with publisher Casterman and Moebius Production, Dark Horse now brings you Numa Sadoul's landmark interviews with Jean "Moebius" Giraud. The master reflects on his many lives as an artist and man, from his Heavy Metal breakthrough era to a year before his untimely passing.

Numa Sadoul is known for his book-length conversations with such major comics figures as Jacques Tardi, André Franquin ( Spirou), and Albert Uderzo (co-creator of Astérix). Edward Gauvin, translator of over three hundred graphic novels, brings us Sadoul's English-language debut, as he explores the mind of the maestro Moebius.
