I awoke this morning to find that some of the worst possible news was waiting for me. Moebius left the world today. What remains is his legend and a magical body of exceptional work.

More and more influential and amazing talent seems to be passing away these days. The void left calls to the talented who are still with us. They may not be able to fill it, but their works can also inspire new generations, perhaps even while honouring the memory and greatness of those who came before. Those we should never forget.

May the work of Jean Giraud continue to inspire new talent forever.
