French Reading List - French Hour

Mentioning the name Jean Giraud did not cause any of the present pencillers, colorists or storyboard artists to even bat an eye. A two-issue Silver Surfer miniseries later collected as Silver Surfer: According to Giraud, this was his first time working under the Marvel method instead of from a full script, and he has admitted to being baffled by the fact that he already had a complete story synopsis on his desk only two days after he had met Stan Lee for the first time, having discussed the — what Giraud then assumed a mere — proposition over lunch.

An amused Giraud quipped, "It's better than a big stature, because in a way, I can not dream of anything better to be immortal [than] being in a movie about submarines! As a result, from his cooperation with Marvel, Giraud delved deeper into the American super hero mythology and created super hero art stemming from both Marvel and DC Comics , which were sold as art prints, posters or included in calendars.

Another project Giraud embarked upon in his "American period", was for a venture into that other staple of American pop culture, trading cards. None of the images were lifted from already pre-existing work, but was especially created anew by Giraud the year previously. Although Giraud had taken up residence in California for five years — holding a temporary residence the O-1 "Extraordinary Ability" category, [] including the "International Artist" status [] visa — he maintained a transient lifestyle, as his work had him frequently travel to Belgium and native France maintaining a home in Paris , as well as to Japan, for extended periods of time.

His stay in the United States was an inspiration for his aptly called Made in L. Giraud's extended stay in the US, garnered him a Inkpot Award , an additional Eisner Award, as well as three Harvey Awards in the period — for the various graphic novel releases by Marvel. It was in this period that Giraud, who had already picked up Spanish as a second language as a result from his various trips to Mexico and his dealings with Jodorowsky and his retinue, also picked up sufficient language skills to communicate in English.

In late summer , Giraud returned to France, definitively as it turned out, though that was initially not his intent. His family had already returned to France earlier, as his children wanted to start their college education in their native county and wife Claudine had accompanied them to set up home in Paris. However, it also turned out that his transient lifestyle had taken its toll on the marriage, causing the couple to drift apart, and it was decided upon his return to enter into a " living apart together " relationship, which allowed for an "enormous freedom and sincerity" without "demands and frustrations" for both spouses, according to the artist.

Giraud's marriage with Claudine was legally ended in December , without much drama according to Giraud, as both spouses had realized that "each wanted something different out of life". Giraud and Isabelle were married on 13 May , and the union resulted in their second child, daughter Nausicaa, the same year. The changes in his personal life were also accompanied with changes in his business holdings during — The American subsidiary Starwatcher Graphics followed in its wake, [] partly because it was a shared marital possession of the original Giraud couple and partly because the publication efforts of his work in the United States had run its course.

Together with Claudine he founded Stardom in , his first true family operated business without any outside participation, according to Giraud, [] with the to copies limited mini art portfolio "Mockba - carnet de bord" becoming the company's first recorded publication in September the same year. In , the company was renamed Moebius Production — singular, despite the occasional and erroneous use of the plural, even by the company itself.

Despite repeated pleas to convince Giraud otherwise, it left writer Jodorowsky with no other recourse than to start anew with a new artist. Both parts were published on the same date 13 November [] and were the last ones written by Van Hamme before Yves Sentes took over the series. Late in life, Giraud also decided to revive his seminal Arzak character in an elaborate new adventure series; the first and last in hindsight volume of a planned trilogy, Arzak l'arpenteur, appeared in By this time, Giraud created his comic art on a specialized graphic computer tablet, as its enlargement features had become an indispensable aid, because of his failing eyesight.

As book illustrator, Giraud illustrated for example the first edition of the science fiction novel "Project Pendulum" by Robert Silverberg , [] and the French edition [] of the novel " The Alchemist " by Paulo Coelho. Adventures in Slumberland and Thru the Moebius Strip as outlined further down the line. He also wrote the "Story Notes" editorials for the American Epic publications, providing background information on his work contained therein. In , he took time off to write his " Moebius-Giraud: Histoire de mon double " autobiography. Tron was not a big hit.

The movie went out in theaters in the same week as E. There was also Blade Runner and Star Trek that summer so it was a battle of giants. Tron was a piece of energy trying to survive. It is still alive. And the new movie is what Steven wanted to do back then but at that time CG was very odd and we were pioneers. I almost did the first computer-animated feature after that, it was called Star Watcher, we had the story, we had the preparation done, we were ready to start.

But it came apart; the company did not give us the approval. It was too far, the concept to do everything in computer animation. We were waiting, waiting, and then our producer died in a car accident. That was my third contribution to animation and my worst experience. When I saw the film for the first time I was ashamed. It's not a Disney movie, definitely. But because the movie has, maybe a flavor, a charm, it is still alive after all that time.

More than 35 years now and it is still here. Alas, rather disappointingly, we had to stop after only 45 seconds! Giraud, a non-English speaker at the time, later admitted that the prospect of moving over to Los Angeles filled him with trepidation, initially causing him to procrastinate. Giraud was grateful for Druillet pushing him as he found that he reveled in his first Hollywood experience.

Science Fiction Hall of Fame inductees

Despite Jodowowsky's project falling through, it had attracted the attention of other movie makers. One of them was Ridley Scott who managed to reassemble a large part of Jodorowsky's original creative team, including Giraud, for his science fiction thriller Alien. Hired as a concept artist, Giraud's stay on the movie lasted only a few days, as he had obligations elsewhere. Nonetheless, his designs for the Nostromo crew attire, and their spacesuits in particular, were almost one-on-one adopted by Scott and appearing onscreen as designed, [] resulting in what Giraud had coined "two weeks of work and ten years of fallout in media and advertising".

Scott was taken with Giraud's art, having cited "The Long Tomorrow" as an influence on his second major movie Blade Runner of see below , and invited him again for both this, and his subsequent third major movie Legend of , which Giraud had to decline in both cases for, again, obligations elsewhere. He especially regretted not having been able to work on the latter movie, having deemed it "very good", [] and it was still on his mind as late as , as he directly referred to the movie when he made his "unicorn" statement regarding his legacy, quoted below.

The heavily "Arzach"-inspired last, "Taarna", section of the movie, has led to the persistent misconception, especially held in the United States, that Giraud had provided characters and situations for the segment, albeit uncredited. While not particularly pleased with the fact, Giraud was amused when third parties wanted to sue the Americans on his behalf. Still, Alien led to two other movie assignments in , this time as both concept and storyboard artist. The first one concerned the Disney science fiction movie Tron , whose director Steven Lisberger specifically requested Giraud, after he had discovered his work in Heavy Metal magazine.

Outside his actual involvement with motion pictures, Giraud was in this period of time also occasionally commissioned to create poster art for, predominantly European, movies. Slated for the production was Arnie Wong, whom Giraud had met during the production of Tron and, incidentally, one of the animators of the vaunted "Taarna" segment of the Heavy Metal movie [] , and it was actually Disney whom Giraud offered the production first. Disney, at the time not believing in the viability of such a production in animation, declined.

Another member of the commune fronted some of the money for the project to proceed, and the production was moved to Wong's animation studio in Los Angeles. Much to Giraud's disappointment and frustration though, the project eventually fell apart for several extraneous reasons, most notably for lack of funding, as related above by the artist. Some of the concept art was reprinted in the art book "Made in L. Yet, despite this failure to launch, it did lead to his, what can be considered, "second Hollywood period" in his "American period".

Concurrent with his career as a comic artist in the United States, invitations followed to participate as concept artist on Masters of the Universe , Willow , The Abyss , and finally Yutaka Fujioka's Japanese animated feature film Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland , for which he was not only the conceptual designer, but also the story writer.

Châteaux de Château-Verdun et de Gudanes

It was for this movie that Giraud resided in Japan for an extended period of time. His definitive return to France in marked the beginning of Giraud's third and last movie period. Giraud made original character designs and did visual development for Warner Bros. The documentary made for this occasion was testament to the great friendship both men had for each other.

She started at the crack of dawn, and only went home in the evening, after the whole team had stopped working. In his graphic novel short, "Cauchemar Blanc", was cinematized by Mathieu Kassovitz , winning Kassovitz but not Giraud two film awards. Arzak Rhapsody , Giraud saw his ambitions as a full-fledged animation movie maker at least in part fulfilled. A series for French television broadcaster France 2 , it consisted of fourteen four minute long animated vignettes, based on Giraud's seminal character, for which he did the writing, drawings and co-production.

Young daughter Nausicaa had voice-over appearances in three of the episodes together with her father. The Blueberry series was adapted for the screen in , by Jan Kounen , as Blueberry: Two previous attempts to bring Blueberry to the silver screen in the s had fallen through; American actor Martin Kove had actually already been signed to play the titular role for one of the attempts. Moebius Production served as a production company, with Isabelle Giraud serving as one of its producers.

Giraud's working methods were various and adaptable ranging from etchings, white and black illustrations, to work in colour of the ligne claire genre and water colours. To distinguish between work by Giraud and Moebius, Giraud used a brush for his own work and a pen when he signed his work as Moebius. Giraud was known for being an astonishingly fast draftsman. Aided with the use of mind-expanding substances in the first part of his career, Giraud had cultivated various New Age type philosophies throughout his career, such as Guy-Claude Burger's instinctotherapy, which influenced his creation of the comic book series Le Monde d'Edena.

Giraud died in Paris, on 10 March , aged 73, after a long battle with cancer. Many friends and representatives from the Franco-Belgian comic world and beyond attended the services, mirroring Giraud's entire career in the industry. Throughout his entire career, Jean Giraud has given numerous interviews both in Europe as well as in the United States, but it is the series of interview sessions conducted by comics journalist Numa Sadoul that warrants special attention.

Entertiens avec Jean Giraud , see below for bibliographical details on all editions , the latter two being each an edited, updated and expanded version of the previous one — and each title incidentally, featuring an entirely different selection of art. Les cahiers de la BD issue 25, July , none of the later interviews had seen prior magazine publication, be it in part or in whole. For editorial reasons, Sadoul omitted some of the outside testimonials from the second edition for his third.

Posthumously published, the title was fully sanctioned and endorsed by Giraud's widow Isabelle who provided a foreword — praising Sadoul for his friendship and tenacity — family pictures, privately created art and additional details on her husband's last two years of his life and has therefore become the closest approximation of an "official biography" of the artist when discounting his own Inside Moebius autobiographical comic and his precursory text autobiography Histoire de mon double.

Giraud himself considered his "enhanced" autobiography on which he had worked for a year, a "funny" piece of work, conceding that accuracy was left to be desired as he could not be bothered to correct mistakes made therein, finding "flavor" in the small inaccuracies, and also admitting that he gave his work only a cursory glance afterwards. Having kept more detailed records, the second edition took in total 19 hours and 45 minutes of interviews conducted between 18 and 21 October at the Sadoul's home in Cagnes-sur-Mer for which Giraud and his future wife Isabelle especially traveled from Paris , augmented with an additional two hours at Giraud's home in Paris on 17 August The third edition accounted for a further 10 hours and 48 minutes worth of interviews, conducted between 15 September and 28 December , either at Giraud's home in Paris or over the telephone.

Sadoul acknowledged that the three series of interview sessions were snapshots in time of Giraud's life and career, causing the artist to occasionally contradict himself in later life — something Giraud himself actually addressed in a humorous fashion in his Inside Moebius comics by regularly confronting his older self with his younger versions — , but chose not to redact or edit such earlier made statements at most adding short, clarifying editorial annotations , instead transcribing these exactly as made at the time. Sadoul's reasoning was that by doing so, it reflected truthfully the spiritual development the artist had undergone throughout his career.

They said that I changed their life, 'You changed my life', 'Your work is why I became an artist'. Oh, it makes me happy. But you know at same time I have an internal broom to clean it all up. It can be dangerous to believe it. Someone wrote, 'Moebius is a legendary artist' I[t] put[s] a frame around me. A legend — now I am like a unicorn. Many artists from around the world have cited Giraud as an influence on their work. Farewell to an immortal" , over comic artists, this time added with international overseas artists, contributed art as tribute to the deceased artist.

Through Arzach, which dates from , I believe.

Seigneurie de Rimouski

I only read it in , and it was a big shock. Not only for me. All manga authors were shaken by this work. Unfortunately, when I discovered it, I already had a consolidated style so I couldn't use its influence to enrich my drawing. Even today, I think it has an awesome sense of space. I fell out of love with American comics, lost interest in the super-hero subject matter, was more interested in the fantasy I saw in the European art. So it's entirely fair to say, and I've said it before, that the way Neuromancer-the-novel "looks" was influenced in large part by some of the artwork I saw in Heavy Metal.

I assume that this must also be true of John Carpenter's Escape from New York, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, and all other artefacts of the style sometimes dubbed 'cyberpunk'. Those French guys, they got their end in early. He is a master draftsman, a superb artist, and more: I wanted to make comics like that when I grew up. He's a unique talent endowed with an extraordinary visionary imagination that's constantly renewed and never vulgar.

Moebius disturbs and consoles. He has the ability to transport us into unknown worlds where we encounter unsettling characters. My admiration for him is total. I consider him a great artist, as great as Picasso and Matisse. Your body died today, your work is more alive than ever. France has lost one of its best known artists in the world. In Japan, Italy, in the United States he is an incredible star who influenced world comics. He was an incredible producer, he said he wanted to show what eyes do not always see.

It has been noted that the quality of the translations of HM Communications has been poor. A far more comprehensive effort was undertaken at Marvel Comics under its Epic imprint in the late s and early s, initiated, translated and introduced by Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier. When initiated, the collections were otherwise unaltered published in Great Britain as well, with a lag ranging from a few months to a year, by Titan Books in a smaller print run of 6.

Art Books — In between, Epic Comics did release four stand-alone art book titles, with Chaos and Metallic Memories reproducing most of the original: The Elsewhere Prince While Giraud with Lofficier was only the co-writer of this US standard comic book mini series, which took place in "The Airtight Garage" universe, there was additional art from him featured in short accompanying editorials, as well as one to two page short stories.

Onyx Overlord — By Giraud co-written sequel to The Elsewhere Prince, and like that series, also featuring additional art from his hand. While Giraud was very pleased with Shanower's art for The Elsewhere Prince for its "naive qualities" he found very fitting for the story-arc, he was deeply disappointed with Bingham's art for Onyx Overlord, considering the work of the "old comics veteran" uninspired and "truly undignified", suspecting Bingham did not like the work. Because of this, Giraud decided not to dispatch the already completed scenarios for Logs 5 and 6.

Disappointing sales of the European editions left the cycle uncompleted indefinitely. Moebius' Airtight Garage Standard US comic book reissue of the graphic novel, with some additional art in the editorials. In the editorial of the novel p. The Abyss This mini comic book series, is the comic adaptation of the eponymous movie.

The eight-page editorials in each are dedicated to the production design art Giraud had provided for the movie. Concrete This special in the Concrete comic book series, featured the first time, full color publication of the page short story "The Still Planet", set in the Edena universe. The first title was released in October Kitchen Sink Press was a publisher of underground comics, explaining the French Ticklers series, and had connotations with HM Communications, adopting some of its artist after the latter had become defunct.

Concurrently they had merged with Tundra Publishing in , explaining the Visions of Arzach anthology art book.

The Magic Crystal — Executed as softcovers in the European graphic novel format. Still, the story did see a contemporary English-language publication, with elaborate annotations from its authors, in this graphic novel anthology.

Giraud provided the promotional poster art for this outing, but not the cover. Noteworthy are his storyboards for the abandoned Internal Transfer movie. Lofficier reprised his role as series editor for these comic book outings. Especially created for the organization, the full color, standard European comic album sized, brochure was widely disseminated by the organization in French, English, Mandarin, Arabic and Spanish. The English language edition enjoyed a first print run of 48, copies, augmented with a 40, copy reprint run in May The Incal and Madwoman of the Sacred Heart.

Humanoids releases these latter-day hardcover editions, usually without dust jacket, in variant size formats, US graphic novel format trade editions , oversized format which is essentially the larger, standard European graphic novel A4 format , and the even larger coffee table format, the latter typically in a limited print run. The post Humanoids editions are also intended for, and disseminated to, the British-Canadian and UK markets, with the exception of two Incal editions, which were licensed and featured variant cover art. The Metabarons Giraud had created one 8-page short story "Au coeur de l'inviolable meta bunker" in , [] focusing on one of the major secondary characters from the Incal saga, The Metabaron, whose ancestry later received its own The Metabarons spin-off series.

The Incal — Excepting the early co-productions with DC Comics, all subsequent editions feature the original coloring. Considered a commercial failure, Beltran's coloring has never been used again after the initial international releases, be it in the United States or elsewhere in the world. Madwoman of the Sacred Heart — With the translation of volume 3 of the series, "The Sorbonne's Madman", these anthology collections complete the series. The anthology editions below however, feature the Moebius page original as well as a bonus.

Giraud garnered worldwide acclaim under the pseudonym Moebius ;[1] French: He also collaborated with avant-garde filmmaker Alej Giraud is a surname. Overview The magazine was originally released quarterly; it consisted of 68 pages, of which only 18 were in colour. It became bi-monthly wit They eventually stumble on a camp of interstellar refugees surrounding a mysterious pyramid, and are transported to an unknown world described as a 'Garden of Eden somewhere in another galaxy'. In mathematics, Giraud subcategories form an important class of subcategories of Grothendieck categories.

They are named after Jean Giraud. The stories follow Arzach, a silent warrior who rides a pterodactyl-like creature through a strange, desolate landscape. These stories had an enormous impact on the French comics industry, and the Arzach character is still among Moebius' most famous creations. It can be defined as a pantomime comic, fantasy comics or an experimental comic. The spelling of the title, originally Arzach, was changed in each of the original short stories. Moebius later revisited the character with a story called The Legend of Arzach.

This later story contains dialogue, and it ties the Arzach stories into a previously unrelated Moebius story called The Detour. Moebius' book Arzak: The Surveyor was the first of The Incal ; French: Thru the Moebius Strip Chinese: Plot The story is about the coming of age of a year-old boy who grew up refusing to accept the loss of his father. He reaches the planet Raphicca In the midst of a raging battle between good and evil, Jac rescues his father, his new-found family of aliens, the planet of Raphicca, and ultimately, the universe. Unlike traditional Chinese films, the movie was dubbed into English first.

In mathematics, a gerbe ; French: Gerbes were introduced by Jean Giraud Giraud following ideas of Alexandre Grothendieck as a tool for non-commutative cohomology in degree 2. They can be seen as a generalization of principal bundles to the setting of 2-categories.

Gerbes provide a convenient, if highly abstract, language for dealing with many types of deformation questions especially in modern algebraic geometry. In addition, special cases of gerbes have been used more recently in differential topology and differential geometry to give alternative descriptions to certain cohomology classes and additional structures attached to them. Definitions Gerbe A gerbe on a topological space X is a stack G of groupoids over X which is locally non-empty each point in X has an open neighbourhood U over which the section category G U of the gerbe is not empty and transitive f Blueberry is an atypical western hero; he is not a wandering lawman who brings evil-doers to justice, nor a handsome cowboy who "rides into town, saves the ranch, becomes the new sheriff and marries the schoolmarm.

The series spawned out of the Fort Navajo comics series, originally intended as an ensemble narrative, but which quickly gravitated around the breakout character "Blueberry" as the main and central character after the first two stories, causing the series to continue under his name later on. The older stories, released under the Fort Navajo moniker, were ultimately reissued under the name Blueberry as well in later reprint runs.

The term adult comics typically denotes comic books, comic magazines, comic strips or graphic novels with content of an erotic, violent, or sophisticated nature, which appeals to adult readers. They are sometimes restricted to purchase by legal adults, especially erotic comics which include sexually explicit material. Early days Roger Sabin traces the history of adult comics back to the political cartoons published in broadsheets since the 19th century.

The artwork ranged from excellent to utterly crude and was sometimes also racist Blacks were caricatured with huge lips and extruding eyes. Their stories were explicit sexual escapades usually featuring well known cartoon characters, political figures, or movie stars without permission.

Although the film is a French production, the film is in English to match the story's setting in America's Wild West in the s. Since the character of Blueberry remains obscure in the States, the film was released on DVD in America in November under the title Renegade and marketed very much as a conventional Western.

GIR may refer to: The Halo Graphic Novel is the first graphic novel adaptation of the military science fiction video game Halo, published by Marvel Comics in partnership with Bungie.

The Halo series began with the award-winning popular video game Halo: Combat Evolved, which spawned several books as well as video game sequels, and is focused on the story of future humanity fighting against a powerful collective of races called the Covenant. The Halo Graphic Novel is the series' first entry into the sequential art medium, and features aspects of the Halo universe which until then had not been discussed or seen in any medium.

The majority of the book is divided into four short stories by different writers and artists from the computer game and comic industries. Each story focuses on different aspects of the Halo universe, revealing stories that are tangential to the main plot of the game. Apart from the stories, the book also contains an extensive art gallery compiled of contributions from Bungie, Marvel and independent sources.
