Giraud garnered worldwide acclaim predominantly under the pseudonym \u003cb\u003eMoebius\u003c\/b\u003e (\/'mo?bi?s\/;[1] French: [møbjys]) for his fantasy\/science-fiction work, and to a slightly lesser extent as \u003cb\u003eGir\u003c\/b\u003e (French: [?i?]), which he used for the \u003ci\u003eBlueberry\u003c\/i\u003e series and his other Western-themed work. Esteemed by Federico Fellini, Stan Lee, and Hayao Miyazaki, among others, [2] he has been described as the most influential \u003ci\u003ebande dessinée\u003c\/i\u003e artist after Hergé.[3] \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His most famous body of work as Gir concerns the \u003ci\u003eBlueberry\u003c\/i\u003e series, created with writer Jean-Michel Charlier, featuring one of the first antiheroes in Western comics, and which is particularly valued in continental Europe. As Moebius, he achieved worldwide renown (in this case in the English-speaking nations and Japan, as well - where his work as Gir had not done well), by creating a wide range of science-fiction and fantasy comics in a highly imaginative, surreal, almost abstract style. These works include \u003ci\u003eArzach\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eAirtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius\u003c\/i\u003e. He also collaborated with \u003ci\u003eavant garde\u003c\/i\u003e filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky for an unproduced adaptation of \u003ci\u003eDune\u003c\/i\u003e and the comic-book series \u003ci\u003eThe Incal\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Moebius also contributed storyboards and concept designs to numerous science-fiction and fantasy films, such as \u003ci\u003eAlien\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTron\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Fifth Element\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Abyss\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eBlueberry\u003c\/i\u003e was adapted for the screen in 2004 by French director Jan Kounen \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Pierre Dionnet \u003c\/b\u003eis a French comics writer. He was born in Paris on November 25th, 1947, at a time when there was still rationing in the capital, so he spent the first five years of his life in central France. He fell behind in school and focused solely on his goal of working in comics. While pursuing his dream of becoming a scriptwriter, he worked as a broker on the weekend, and he was also a bookstore clerk at the first rendition of Futuropolis. Jean-Pierre Dionnet started his career as a comics writer in \u003ci\u003ePilote\u003c\/i\u003e in 1971. His first comics work was writing short stories for such artists as Jacques Tardi and Jean Solé. In 1974, he wrote \u003ci\u003eTiriel\u003c\/i\u003e for Raymond Poïvet and joined the editorial team of L'Écho des Savanes, where he continued to write on the side. A year later, he founded the magazine \u003ci\u003eMétal Hurlant\u003c\/i\u003e, along with Bernard Farkas, Philippe Druillet, and Moebius. He remained editor-in-chief of the magazine until 1985. Alongside his editorial activities, Dionnet remained active as a scriptwriter, creating stories for Jean-Claude Gal (\u003ci\u003eLes Armées du Conquérant\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eArn\u003c\/i\u003e) and Enki Bilal (\u003ci\u003eExterminateur 17\u003c\/i\u003e). Jean-Pierre Dionnet has also been active in the television world, though at the age of 60 he decided to leave the industry to devote himself once more to scriptwriting. His ensuing work includes a sweeping series about the history of America between 1929 and 2147, in a parallel world where the gods live alongside humans: \u003ci\u003eDes Dieux et des hommes\u003c\/i\u003e (Dargaud; \u003ci\u003eOf Gods and Men\u003c\/i\u003e, Europe Comics), in collaboration with Laurent Theureau, Roberto Baldazzini, and Moebius. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnki Bilal\u003c\/b\u003e is French-Yugoslavian comic book writer and artist, best known for \u003ci\u003eThe Carnival of Immortals\u003c\/i\u003e, whose success would result in two sequels, \u003ci\u003eThe Woman Trap\u003c\/i\u003e in 1986 and \u003ci\u003eEquator Cold \u003c\/i\u003ein 1993. He also wrote and drew \u003ci\u003eThe Monster's Tetralogy\u003c\/i\u003e in 1998. Working primarily as a graphic artist and illustrator, Bilal has also directed three movies, \u003ci\u003eBunker Palace Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e in 1989, \u003ci\u003eTykho Moon\u003c\/i\u003e in 1997, and\u003ci\u003e Immortal\u003c\/i\u003e in 2004, the latter based on his earlier \u003ci\u003eNikopol\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTrilogy\u003c\/i\u003e. Bilal was named Officier des Arts et des Lettres in 2003, and was invested with a knighthood in the Ordre National du Mérite in 2010. An asteroid was named after him in 2006.","brand":"Humanoids, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751059587371,"sku":"9798893573930","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/7966\/2379\/files\/img_6d0ebb39-a6d9-47ee-956a-04a53d45e7f1.jpg?v=1768925837","url":"https:\/\/www.txcorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/metal-hurlant-the-monster-within-9798893573930","provider":"TX CorrectionsBookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
