I stumbled across this series while going through the Moebius art-book Chaos. Only info given is that it´s a series of commercial illustrations for Europe-Assistance. I did a little research and found out that it´s a travel insurance company based in Belgium. Further research revealed that the series was printed as a limited album, titled Europ Assistance : Une belle Aventure, for internal use at Europe-Assistance, as an exclusive gift. Nowadays it is a rare collectors item, sometimes sold privately for around 100€.
Beautiful 20-page album presenting Europ Assistance, its history and results, etc. The kind of (in-house) promotional document that will no longer be produced at this level: more than just illustrations, Moebius has created a real universe to accompany this presentation. Exceptional!
This reminds of Sur l’étoile, the exclusive short comic Mœbius did for the company anniversary of Citroën in 1983, which introduced the characters Stel and Atan and later became the basis for the beloved The World of Edena series.
