March 2. 01. 2 was a French artist, cartoonist and writer who worked in the Franco Belgian bandes dessines BD tradition. Giraud garnered worldwide acclaim predominantly under the pseudonym Mbius 1French mbjys and to a lesser extent Gir French i, which he used for the Blueberry series and his Western themed paintings. Esteemed by Federico Fellini, Stan Lee and Hayao Miyazaki among others,2 he has been described as the most influential bandes dessines artist after Herg. 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 Mbius he created a wide range of science fiction and fantasy comics in a highly imaginative, surreal, 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. Mbius also contributed storyboards and concept designs to numerous science fiction and fantasy films, such as Alien, Tron, The Fifth Element and The Abyss. Blueberry was adapted for the screen in 2. French director Jan Kounen. Early lifeeditJean Giraud was born in Nogent sur Marne, Val de Marne, in the suburbs of Paris, on 8 May 1. Raymond Giraud, an insurance agent, and Pauline Vinchon, who had worked at the agency. When he was three years old, his parents divorced and he was raised mainly by his grandparents, who were living in the neighboring municipality of Fontenay sous Bois much later, when he was the acclaimed artist, Giraud returned to live in the municipality in the mid 1. The rupture between mother and father created a lasting trauma that he explained lay at the heart of his choice of separate pen names. An introverted child at first, young Giraud found solace after World War II in a small theater, located on a corner in the street where his mother lived, which concurrently provided an escape from the dreary atmosphere in post war reconstruction era France. Playing an abundance of American B Westerns, it was there that Giraud, frequenting the theater as often as he was able to, developed a passion for the genre, as had so many other European boys his age in those times. At age 9 1. Giraud started to draw Western comics while enrolled by his single mother as a stop gap measure in the Saint Nicolas boarding school in Issy les Moulineaux for two years and where he became acquainted with Belgian comic magazines like Spirou and Tintin, much to the amusement of his school mates. In 1. 95. 4, at age 1. Suprieure des Arts Appliqus Duperr, where he, unsurprisingly, started producing Western comics, which however did not sit well with his teachers. At the college, he befriended other future comic artists, Jean Claude Mzires and fr Pat Mallet. With Mzires in particular, in no small part due to their shared passion for science fiction, Westerns and the Far West, Giraud developed a close lifelong friendship,1. In 1. 95. 6 he left art school without graduating to visit his mother, who had married a Mexican in Mexico, and stayed there for nine months. It was the experience of the Mexican desert, in particular its endless blue skies and unending flat plains, now seeing and experiencing for himself the vistas that had enthralled him so much when watching westerns on the silver screen only a few years earlier, which left an everlasting, quelque chose qui ma littralement craqu lme,1. After his return to France, he started to work as a full time tenured artist for Catholic publisher Fleurus, to whom he was introduced by Mzires, who had shortly before found employment at the publisher.

Fortunately for him however, he somehow managed to escape frontline duty as he being the only service man available at the time with a graphics background served out his military obligations being set to work as illustrator on the army magazine 55 Forces Franaises, besides being assigned to logistic duties. Algeria was Girauds second acquaintance with other, more exotic cultures and like he did in Mexico, he soaked in the experience, which made another indelible impression on the young man born as a suburban city boy, leaving its traces in his later comics, these ones especially in the ones created as Mbius. Western comicseditAt 1. Giraud was drawing his own humorous, Morrisinspired, Western comic two page shorts, Frank et Jeremie, for the magazine Far West, his very first free lance commercial sales. Magazine editor Marijac thought young Giraud gifted with a knack for humorous comics, but none whatsoever for realistically drawn comics, and advised him to continue in the vein of Frank et Jeremie. Fleurus 1. 95. 6 1. A panel from Girauds 1. Western comic King of the Buffalo, written by Noel Carr. It shows heavy inspiration from Jij. Tenured at publisher Fleurus from 1. Giraud did so, but concurrently continued to steadfastly create realistically drawn Western comics alongside several others of a French historical nature and illustrations for magazine editorials in their magazines Fripounet et Marisette, Curs Vaillants and fr mes vaillantes all of them of a strong edifying nature aimed at Frances adolescent youth, up to a point that his realistically drawn comics had become his mainstay. Among his realistic Westerns was a comic called Le roi des bisons King of the Buffalo has seen an English publication1. Un gant chez lez Hurons A Giant with the Hurons. Actually, several of his Western comics, including King of the Buffalo, featured the same protagonist Art Howell, and these can be considered as Girauds de facto first realistic Western series, as he himself did in effect, since he, save the first one, endowed these stories with the subtitle Un aventure dArt Howell. It was for Fleurus that Giraud also illustrated his first three books. Already in this period his style was heavily influenced by his later mentor, Belgian comic artist Joseph Jij Gillain, who at that time was the major source of inspiration for an entire generation of young aspiring French comic artists, including Girauds friend Mzires, interested in doing realistically drawn comics. How major Jijs influence was on these young artists, was amply demonstrated by the Fleurus publications these youngsters submitted their work to, as their work strongly resembled each other. For example, two of the books Giraud illustrated for Fleurus, were co illustrated with Guy Mouminoux, another name of some future renown in the Franco Belgian comic world, and Girauds work can only be identified, because he signed his work, whereas Mouminoux did not sign his. While not ample, Girauds earning at Fleurus were just enough to allow him disenchanted as he was with the courses, prevalent atmosphere and academic discipline to quit his art academy education after only two years, though he came to somewhat regret the decision in later life. Jij apprenticeship 1. Shortly before he entered military service, Giraud visited his idol at his home for the first time with Mzires and Mallet, followed by a few visits on his own to see the master at work for himself.
