Moebius - The Long Tomorrow, chapter 1, page 8 (May 1976)

Wow! Not just Moebius, but soooo much Moebius art! That 3rd panel is such a classic background in his style that I think this could be your one Moebius piece and you could be totally satisfied that you have a great example of his work. I'm jealous! Congrats!!!!

To quote fellow CAF member Timothy Finney: Sockamagee! :) 

It's a brilliant page. There must be a word that could sum up my feelings about it. Maybe... I don't know... Baller!

Brilliant Moebius page, congrats Chris!

Also very jealous of this one. So much to love in every panel! 

Really a perfect example. As you so eloquently wrote; the influence of this art and this story cannot be overstated.

Major piece Chris. The third panel defines Blade Runner. This wonderful page is a sublime and beautiful work. 

Impeccable pickup: classic yet quirky, influential yet effortlessly so, and above all rare as a 4-leaf clover (only 16 pages or so to this 2-part story if I recall). Way to rock St. Paddy's Day! 

Rare as a four-leaf clover, indeed! Thanks, as always, for the counsel!

Damn, that's so beautiful. Perfection!

Congratulations on a truly fantastic page! I think it is so cool that this page is from around the time that he was working on Dune. The words historical significance come to mind.

Well I guess I have more confidence in your collecting ability than you do, Chris, because I always expected to see a Moebius page in it eventually. Really! A magnificent example it is, too. Congratulations!

This is an EPIC piece!!! Congratulations on landing this one!!

An excellent write up for a very special page.  Like many of us, I discovered Moebius in the pages of Heavy Metal magazine.  I just remember thinking how I had never seen anything like him before.  Not that I followed the European art scene very closely, the accessability was too prohibitive for a young comic reader who didn't know where to find it.  Of course that all changed when I started going to conventions and found most of his books there.  He was kind man, very soft spoken.  And as nice as he was talented.  I was lucky enough to have a couple of memorable interactions with  him.

I think the year was 1986.  The Donnelly's had organized what, at the time, I thought was just a small local convention.  In looking back now, I realize how truly amibitious it was.  The guest list included Moebius, P. Craig Russell, Art Adams, Mike Mignola, Tom Yeates, Steve Purcell, and a few others I can't even remember.  Halfway through the last day, Steve's then girlfriend asked me if I had my car.  I told her yes and she said we needed to take some people to SFO (which was only a few minutes from San Mateo where we were).  When I pulled up to the front of the hotel, I was surprised to see her there with Moebius and his wife.  I can't remember much, as I was in a daze for most of that short drive, but for some reason I remember most of the conversation revolved around sushi.  LOL!  I have one of the world's greatest artists in the back seat of my Chevy Cavalier, and what do we talk about?  Raw fish, of course!

That is a heck of a story, Eric! Way more interesting than my write-up by a factor of two, at least.

A chase scene that takes us through Moebius' imagination and creativity.  It is fast paced, but it makes us want to linger on each panel to consider the amount of world building it is able to accomplish.   

Stunned.  Stunning.  

Just might be the finest Moebius piece that I have seen in a loooooong time.   Congratulations.   It found the perfect collection in which to reside.

Beauty! Incredible sequence in first 4 panels. The changes in perspective are amazing. What a piece!

Sweet page. Love the flying car and all the little men. Has all the hallmarks you would want in a Moebius page from one of his most famous tomes. Congrats!

Wow!  Beautiul Chris!

Wonderful page!  Really enjoyed reading your writeup as well.  So many creative people were influenced by this story

Absolutely fabulous and the envy of every serious Moebius fan!

Oooh.... wow

Sacré bleu! That's one heck of a Moebius page, Chris! And it's from The Long Tomorrow, no less! My sincerest congratulations!

This one is mind bending....you've described it better than I could. It's breathtaking to "feel" this one. Moebius had vision into the future...maybe only Kubrik in films comapres in my experiences with visionaires.Just leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. 

Perfect example of Moebius' ability to draw 'depth' in every panel he composed.

I now see the influence on Blade Runner. Congratulations. I also enjoyed the description you wrote, which was nicely done.

Grail!

One of the cornerstone stories in Moebius' oeuvre. A real rarity. 

A beautiful peak period Moebius page! 

I have what I believe is a serigraph of this page that was a limited print run of 80 and signed by Moebius but have not bee able to track down any information about it at all. I've seen a couple other limited similar signed prints from TLT but no concrete info. I'd love to find out more as I have to sell it for an estate I'm working with.
