Moebius Library: The World of Edena | |
While French artist Jean Giraud was already a well-known comic artist with his hard-boiled western series Blueberry, he built an entire second career under the pen name Moebius beginning in 1963 with a series of short stories. In later years, Moebius would become world famous for his science-fiction, artistic, and erotic art. He is admired for his many collaborations with Alejandro Jodorowsky such as the wordless comics fantasy, Arzach.
In 1983 he co-founded the Aedena company and settled in Los Angeles. During his stay in the USA, he saw his most important works published by Marvel Comics. He also illustrated an episode of Silver Surfer by Stan Lee.
In addition to his large comics and illustration output, Moebius remained active in the film industry as well. In addition to providing preliminary designs for such films as Alien, Tron, The Abyss, Masters of the Universe, and The Fifth Element, Moebius provided concept art for El Topo director Alejandro Jodorowsky's never-realized adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune.
Moebius passed away in Paris on March 10, 2012, at the age of 73.
网友对Moebius Library: The World of Edena的评论
去年12月初下的单，忘记评论了，现在说说吧..内容是极其精彩的，但也不是特别别出心裁。故事结构令人舒服，而且老爷子人物刻画能力太棒了简直，很快就产生character arc，相当得强力。不过个人感觉最后结局稍稍有些烂尾，可能只是我的认为。非常期待黑马未来有关moebius的出版计划~
大师的书不说了~非常好，全网最低价，推荐购买，希望有kindle版的。实在是很大很重！
This is a collection of the stories that form Jean "Moebius" Giraud's Edena (or Aedena) epic - really the adventures of interstellar mechanic Stel, as it kicks off with "Repairs," a psy-fi short unconnected to "Upon a Star," the one-off commission for Citroen that wound up becoming the beginning of the epic. Some time after the private publication of Upon a Star, Giraud decided to develop it into a kind of extended parable inspired by the ideas of his guru, Jean-Paul Appel-Guéry. Despite a New Age/Back To Eden orientation the stories have moments of the kind of off-the-wall and satirical situations for which Giraud was famous.
I got the hardbound, which has an integral cover (i.e no dust cover): all the art is beautifully reproduced and there are a couple "extras" - short comments by Giraud that introduce the work and preface each chapter (note that these are mostly different comments from those he provided for previous publications.) A one-page biography of Giraud and a select bibliography end the volume.
Stel is a pilot and mechanic from an advanced civilization who is supposed to be travelling to a "Jalopy" show on a distant planet with his partner Atan. Affected by a mysterious force, Stel discovers that apparently he alone can activate an ancient technology that transports him, together with Atan, to the legendary planet Edena, a supernatural paradise. Disconnected from their artificial life support systems, the pair develop into man and woman, whose natural physiology and impulses dismay Atan, the female. There is a more mystic aspect to the situation, however, as in a significant dream Stel meets the mysterious psychopomp Master Burg and is attacked by an evil entity. Atan flees from Stel and the separated pair experience symbolic adventures in which they must deal with the artificial civilization that the evil entity has created. Submerged in a dream state by the entity, Stel struggles to be united with Atan, but can he succeed in reality?
I like this series a little better than the "Incal" series Giraud did with Alexandro Jodorowsky; the latter is pretty heavy-handed at times and the New-Age stuff seems trite. Nevertheless the Edena stories are solidly in the same general mold - nature is good, society is corrupt, citizens are sheep, etc. The dark ironies of Arzach and surreality of The Airtight Garage aren't much in evidence, but there is some pointed social satire. The artwork is great, Giraud at the height of his powers.
Under the assumption that you're a Moebius enthusiast, I'd just like to comment briefly on Dark Horse's treatment of releasing this piece stateside. Thankfully they've treated the work with the appropriate reverence and attention to color and detail that such an edition would ideally have. It's a beautiful object and a positive reminder that the digital age of Kindle books will never obsolete such an item.
I think a collective sigh of relief can be had that the artist's catalogue is in good hands for future "Moebius Library" releases---which apparently there will be more in '17 and '18!!
Keep up the good work Dark Horse and I'll gladly buy each new release.
So many things to say about this book. The art, weight of the book (it's very big--not quite coffee table sized, but almost). Read it in one day--and now because the book is so pretty, it's on our shelf by our dining room. Everyone who comes in has to touch it, pour through the pages and wonder of this book.
This is a beautiful volume containing all the stories in the Aedena Cycle. If you truly appreciate Jean "Moebius" Giraud, this a must-have!
