I read about this a few hours ago and I'm feeling really sad. He made a part of my childhood.
Au revoir, maître.

Sh!t! Sad news indeed.
Pictures, visual images, are far better to achieve that end than any words, particularly now, when the world has lost all mystery and magic and speech has become mere chatter, empty of meaning - Andrei Tarkovsky

In my teenage years, when I was immersed in the comic book world, trying my luck on the otherwise small comics business in Portugal, Jean Giraud was a major influence. I loved his "Incal" series.

For those who didn't know this, Moebius was very influential to Ridley Scott and most notably Blade Runner.

RIP...
You wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing "Subtle Plans Are Here Again."

And that panel is from a 16-page story with Dan O'Bannon, The Long Tomorrow.
However I think all this posting of pictures only shows what was part of his talent. The guy was a brilliant storyteller.
