Dark Horse Comics have announced their plans to release the library of Mœbius, one of the most influential and respected artists in the history of comics and cartooning, in a series of hardcover volumes.

Jean Giraud—better known as Mœbius—is one of the most influential cartoonists in history, with work that helped to define the landscape of science fiction and fantasy comics.

His expertise was also showcased on work in film, with credits including Alien, Tron, The Fifth Element and more.

Speaking about the announcement, Dark Horse president and publisher Mike Richardson said “As a true visionary in the comics medium, it is a pleasure to once again publish collections of Mœbius’ work. His influence on contemporary comics is undeniable, and it’s a true honor to be working with Isabelle Giraud, his wife and partner, to help ensure that his legacy will continue to live on for a new generation of readers.”

More information regarding the release of the Mœbius Library will be available soon. Count us in for this one, though.
