The Silver Surfer By Moebius (and Stand Lee) (Informational)

The Silver Surfer By Moebius (and Stand Lee)


The Silver Surfer

Published in 1988 by Epic Comics and Marvel, this book is designed just as well as the illustrations are drawn. The sleeve is of course a beauty colour with metallic print around the Silver Surfer logo. Under the sleeve there is an embossing with a silver foil. As well the illustrations and perspectivism throughout the whole book with Galactus make it really awesome and I can't believe I haven't seen more of Moebius's stuff before this! I would say this is one of my favourite finds so far.








Moebius

Moebius Aka Jean Giraud was a French comic book artist who's unique sci-fi perspective had profound influence on graphic novels such as "Alien", "Tron", "Avatar", and more. Mr. Giraud went by the pen name Moebius and was a source of national pride for France. In the 1980s and early 1990s, Jack Lang, the French minister of culture, told reuters that Mr. Giraud's work "made him the figurehead of this unique art form in France."
