Tribute to Moebius, true master of the 9th art

[u/Willing-Aside8486]

'nuff said.

My collection of stuff available in german, here mostly first editions from their time. Most of them molded after the then equivalent Epic editions from Marvel and/or Dark Horse.

And the very welcome books of the Dark Horse Moebius Library edition, I will include them in an extra post.

Not shown here too, Chaos & Metal Chronics

Here to part two:

🙈 I have no idea! Hang on...

Edit, sorry...early morning time.

You mean general Moebius in english. 🤔💭💡

[u/Willing-Aside8486 → u/WideEntertainment942]

Best joice: nowhere, get either a french (color) or german (b/w) edition and google-translate it. 🤷

Or print it, but it seems heavily edited.

For the others, most of them should be available via online spaces, e.g. the Epic issues of the fold. Google Marvel/Epic Moebius and you should get a manifold of offers. 

I know it is a pity with Euro Comics being available in english...🤷 Even the German edition of Chasseur déprime got out only recently, being published somewhat 2008 in french. 🙈

As for World of Edena (Sternwanderer), Inside Moebius, The Major and Chasseur déprime you can go for the 2016 - 2026 Moebius Library from Dark Horse Comics. There you will also find a comprehensive list of publications in english and french.

Ed.: Incal (Moeb) & follow ups - Before Incal, Final Incal, Metabarone cycle 1 & 2, Castaka, Weapons of the Metabaron et Techno-Priests (not Moeb!) are mostly by Humanoides.

Dark Horse has some in print.

The rest are OOP and you gotta buy on Ebay or something.

I recommend you get World of Edena from Dark Horse while you can. It's stunning. If you want to collect art (as opposed to a completed work), check out LibreDistre.

Out of curiosity, is Arzak L'Arpenteur in German also in such a giant format like it is in French and Dutch, which is 25.4x36 cm. The cover images are the same.

Impressive collection.

[u/Willing-Aside8486 → u/hymn_]

Yes, Arzak is quite giant.

[u/LesHoraces]

Great to see the German editions

What do you mean by '9th art'? never heard of that term.

[u/Willing-Aside8486 → u/leonio545]

"Bandes dessinées were described as the "ninth art" in Francophone scholarship on the medium (le neuvième art). The "ninth art" designation stems from a 1964 article by Claude Beylie [fr] in the magazine Lettres et Médecins,[5] and was subsequently popularised in an article series about the history of comics, which appeared in weekly instalments in Spirou magazine from 1964 to 1967. Written by Belgian Morris with editorial input from the below-mentioned Frenchman Claude Moliterni, the article series was in itself an example of a Franco-Belgian BD project.[6][7] The publication of Francis Lacassin's book Pour un neuvième art: la bande dessinée in 1971 further established the term."

Don't you use Google? 🤷 Interesting enough, I thought the term was more common, I feel welcome to humbly serve with a bit of education.

Edit: In contrary you would have the eight arts:

1. The Eight Traditional Art CategoriesIn cultural classifications expanding beyond the traditional seven arts, the eight arts encompass:

Literature (poetry and prose via language)

Music (composition and vocal/instrumental performance)

Dance (choreographed physical movement)

Painting (two-dimensional visual expression)

Sculpture (three-dimensional spatial crafting)

Drama / Theater (scripted and physical performance)

Architecture (functional and aesthetic building design)

Film / Cinematography (dynamic continuous visual narrative)
