The stamp in the middle:
The blue "PLG" stamp at the bottom center stands for Plein la gueule pour pas un rond (later simply PLG Editions), a highly influential French comic fanzine and independent press house founded in 1978.

The stamp in the paper itselfs at the bottom left:
The "Ateliers d'Art Desjobert" stamp is a blind stamp (an embossed, inkless mark) that acts as a guarantee of origin, authenticity, and premium print quality.
It means the print was physically pulled at the legendary Atelier Desjobert, one of the most historic and prestigious master printmaking workshops in Paris.

The Studio is prestigious: it was founded in 1923 by Edmond Desjobert, this workshop is universally renowned in the art world for traditional stone lithography. They only worked with demanding, world-class artists.
By having this stamp, this Moebius print shares a lineage with works by legendary masters who used the exact same workshop, including Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Francis Bacon, and Zao Wou-Ki.
This stamp proves that the piece is a genuine, high-quality fine art lithograph created under a master printer's supervision, completely distinguishing it from a common, mass-produced poster print.

Combined with the PLG stamp and Moebius's signature, this third mark completes the pedigree of the print, making it highly desirable to comic art collectors.
