Description from the seller
Moebius / Jean Giraud 1938-2012" Sci-Fi Legend". Publisher; Gallery 2016 (Brussels) / Drawing '86
"Moebius Autoportrait" (First Edition) Rare 1er Tirage vintage Old Stock from 1986 'Offset lithography heavy 'card stock' paper' 55x75cm Mint/Archive State.
Acquire an absolute holy grail of sci-fi illustration history with this pristine, vintage first-edition art print. Published in 1986 as a premier, limited archival release by the legendary Galerie 2016 in Brussels, this highly sought-after print showcases the definitive Autoportrait (Self-Portrait) of Jean Giraud (1938–2012), globally revered by his immortal pen name, Moebius. As the visionary co-creator of Métal Hurlant (Heavy Metal) magazine and mastermind behind The Incal and Arzach, this exceptionally rare "New Old Stock" plate captures the artist at the absolute pinnacle of his creative powers.The stunning, deeply introspective composition features Moebius himself, seated calmly on a simple blue wooden stool facing the viewer with legs crossed. Dressed in a minimal white t-shirt, brown trousers, red socks, and distinctive blue-rimmed glasses, a jacket is draped casually behind his shoulders. He sits intensely focused, cradling a sketching pad in his lap with a drawing pen poised in his hand. The setting transitions into a mesmerizing, desert-like alien terrain, with floorboards or dry desert cracks stretching toward a low-set horizon line under an immense, unearthly blue sky. The sky is dominated by a brilliant white, geometric star-cross sun that projects long, stark, ink-black shadows across the landscape.Meticulously printed in 1986 via high-contrast gallery offset lithography on extra-heavy premium card stock paper in its original 55x75 cm format, the production brilliantly honors Moebius' legendary, hyper-detailed stippling, clean ink cross-hatching, and stark color blocking—shifting elegantly from pale pinks and terracotta browns to deep, luminous sky blues. The presentation is completed inside the lower-right margin of the internal illustration plate by the artist's integrated, historic signature mark, verbatim as MOEBIUS 86. Sourced directly from an untouched distributor portfolio file, this uncirculated, investment-grade masterpiece is an ultimate centerpiece for premier comic art historians, international sci-fi archives, or minimalist luxury spaces.
