Two of France’s geniuses of contemporary comics, Moebius and Jean Giraud, are one man. Now a man of 72, with some health concerns, Moebius’ spirit still shines bright both in person and in his work. He had also been making a new drawing every day for the show. In keeping with his exhibition’s title and theme, Moebius was about to transform Transe-Forme to change and replace the works on display. Looking good in a light suit and T-shirt, Moebius was relaxed, responsive, reflective, enjoying speaking in English with me, and our hour together was a delight. I had met the great man before a few times, including having dinner with him at one of the excellent UK Comic Art Conventions organised in the Eighties in London by Frank Plowright and Hassan Yusuf. One of my highlights of 2010 was being whisked over by Art Review to interview Moebius aka Jean Giraud at Transe-Forme, his wonderful one-man retrospective exhibition at the Fondation Cartier in Paris.
