The 73 year-old artist may be best known as the illustrator of the influential Blueberry Western comic book series that he co-created with writer Jean-Michel Charlier in 1963. Giraud contributed concept designs to feature films including Alien (1979) and Tron (1982). He also co-wrote the original draft screenplay of TMS&#8217;s 1989 anime film Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. Although Giraud had little direct involvement in Japanese comics or animation, his influence on modern manga &#038; anime has been significant, especially in the visual design of anime like Makoto Kobayashi&#8217;s 1988 OVA Dragon&#8217;s Heaven.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment\/news\/la-me-moebius-20120311,0,3697696.story\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Internationally acclaimed French comic artist Jean \u201cMoebius\u201d Giraud passed away on March 10 after a lengthy battle with cancer.
