“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

Art and Science-Fiction (1986)

Moebius drew this image to illustrate an article by Ray Bradbury about Art and Science-Fiction, written for The Universe, a book edited by Byron Preiss.

Moebius: I absolutely love that drawing, because I think it is one of the earliest pictures I drew which prefigures my current abstract, or non-figurative, work. The detail of the machine or machines under the character shows the same obsession with assembling a variety of non- figurative shapes and making them look shiny and real. Here, of course, that whole non-figurative pattern fits into the overall context, which purports to show a science-fiction writer, caught by the dreamlike nature of his subject, connected to a collective unconscious universe of robotic images through his very body.
