INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Comic Artist Reference Library. I originally created this as a place to store artist's images that inspire me when doing my own comic book work. Hopefully it will be useful to you as well. The nature of this site is not to include every comic book artist ever known, and there are dozens if not hundreds of tremendously talented artists whose work will not be featured here, but my goal in being so selective is to help others to discover artists and images that will help unlock their own creativity and introduce them to work they were perhaps unfamiliar with before. This type of thing is always a "work in progress", so please feel free to e-mail me suggestions, pictures, or anything that might help it to be more useful. Thanks. -Eric

Moebius

Jean "Moebius" Giraud easily captured and quickly transcended the best of what 1960s and 1970s noncomformity in graphic arts had to offer, and instead of merely being a dated side note in illustrator, his work is indisputable, unique and timeless.

Jodorowsky and Moebius - The Incal, from feature on Jean “Moebius” Giraud, 1938-2012:
From the opening sequence of the "Incal", written by Alejandro Jodorowsky.





From "Requiem" by Stan Lee and Moebius, circa 1986.


From "Arzach", a story originally published circa 1972 in the French fantasy magazine "Metal Hurlant" (or the English version, "Heavy Metal"). Arzach was the start of a little revolution in comic art. It had no text, yet was sweeping and epic in feel. It was altogether unlike anything else that had been published in comic art up to that time. Even today it stands as being an exceptional and unique piece of work.
