Jean Giraud "Moebius" - "Arzak : Le Rocher" - Poster

Riding atop his trusted bird, Arzak is heading towards an unexplored island. What will he find there?

Jean Giraud, aka Moebius or Gir, is a legendary French author and comic book illustrator

The world of Azark:

Azarch, one of Moebius' major characters, was conceived in the 1980's, and brought to life in the magazine Métal Hurlant, created in 1975. His faithful companion and transport is his bird companion, and together they fly to unexplored and strange universes.This "voiceless" comic book (drawn without bubbles) takes us into colourful deserted landscapes, in a phantasmagorical world that seems to be from out of time and space.

"These strange worlds, beyond the visible, reveal something very personal, of the order of sensation.

Starwatcher is an avatar of Arzach, a result of the transformation of the Arzach character from a very masculine warrior into a feminine figure. Arzach is a landmark album: it is the one where Giraud becomes Moebius, leaving behind the realistic drawings of Blueberry to explore "the deepest level of consciousness, on the fringe of the unconscious."
