Moebius was an artist like no other, and his influence was seen all over the world -- even stretching to Japan, where he made an obvious impression on people like Katsuhiro Otomo.

I am glad I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of years ago, hopefully I can find the photo I took.

RIP

Oh man, I was just thinking about this guy yesterday. I love his art work.

[Gubaba]

I especially loved his Nausicaa pic...but that's just me...

[TehPW]

why y'all crying like its a big lose (to us).... It's Heaven that gains from this 'tragedy' (God now has his muse, for working on that AWESOME SH*T wing of the Big House, that's been gathering dust because... well.... the best man to paint that room/wing has only JUST arrived...)

*Salutes*

His legacy lives on, within all artists that gain insight from his work. You will be missed.

RIP. Love his visual work.

Sad to see him go. The experience of his artworks in my youth, without exaggeration, changed my life.

^{He was good. I read one of his works in a Heavy Metal magazine called "The Horny Goof". That story is difinately not for children.}

^{He will be missed.}

His last words to his wife:

"Je sens qu’il se passe quelque chose... Je sens que je transmute... Il faut que tu me donnes les codes de réparation..."

a true character to the last.
