Giraud, Jean

Jean Giraud aka M bius was a French artist, cartoonist, and writer, who worked in the Franco-Belgian bandes dessinees tradition. Giraud earned worldwide fame, predominantly under the pseudonym M bius, which he used to create a wide range of science fiction and fantasy comics in a highly imaginative and surreal, almost abstract style. Esteemed by Federico Fellini, Stan Lee and Hayao Miyazaki, among many others, he is considered as the most influential bande dessinee artist, and a continued influence to filmmakers and artists around the world.
