Jean Henri Gaston Giraud (; 8 May 1938 – 10 March 2012) was a French artist, cartoonist and writer who worked in the Franco-Belgian ''bandes dessinées'' tradition. Giraud garnered worldwide acclaim predominantly under the pseudonym Mœbius and to a lesser extent Gir, which he used for the ''Blueberry'' series and his paintings. Esteemed by Federico Fellini, Stan Lee and Hayao Miyazaki among others,〔Screech, Matthew. 2005. Moebius/Jean Giraud: ''Nouveau Réalisme'' and Science fiction. in Libbie McQuillan (ed) "The Francophone bande dessinée" Rodopi. p. 1〕 he has been described as the most influential フランス語:''bandes dessinées'' artist after Hergé.〔 His most famous works include the series ''Blueberry'', created with writer Jean-Michel Charlier, featuring one of the first anti-heroes in Western comics. As Mœbius he created a wide range of science fiction and fantasy comics in a highly imaginativesurreal, almost abstract style. These works include ''Arzach'' and the ''Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius''. He also collaborated with avant-garde filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky for an unproduced adaptation of ''Dune'' and the comic book series ''The Incal''. Mœbius also contributed storyboards and concept designs to numerous science fiction and fantasy films, such as ''Alien'', ''Tron'', ''The Fifth Element'' and ''The Abyss''. In 2004, Moebius and Jodorowsky sued Luc Besson for using ''The Incal'' as inspiration for ''Fifth Element'', a lawsuit which they lost. ''Blueberry'' was adapted for the screen in 2004 by French director Jan Kounen. ==Early life== Jean Giraud was born in Nogent-sur-Marne, Val-de-Marne, in the suburbs of Paris, on 8 May 1938.〔''Comics Buyer's Guide'' #1485; 3 May 2002; Page 29〕 When he was three years old, his parents divorced and he was raised mainly by his grandparents. The rupture between mother and father, city and country, created a lasting trauma that he explained lay at the heart of his choice of separate pen names.〔 In 1954 at age 16, he began his only technical training at the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués Duperré, where he started producing Western comics. He became close friends with another comic artist, Jean-Claude Mézières. In 1956 he left art school to visit his mother, who had married a Mexican in Mexico, and stayed there for eight months. It was the experience of the Mexican desert, in particular its endless blue skies and unending flat plains, which left an everlasting, "quelque chose qui m'a littéralement craqué l'âme",〔(Moebius Redux: Mexico )〕 enduring impression on him, easily recognizable in almost all of his later seminal works. After his return to France, he started to work as a full-time artist.〔 In 1959–1960 he served his military service in Algeria, where he collaborated on the army magazine ''5/5 Forces Françaises''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://lambiek.net/artists/g/giraud.htm )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean Giraud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
