Jean giraud moebius 1 upon a star

This is the first book in a series collecting the works of French comics maestro Jean Giraud Moebius. Moebius to me, is an icon. An artist of monolithic stature whose works are like visual scriptures, full of wonder and meaning. You can can totally get lost in his art, and that is one of best qualities of an accomplished artist and storyteller such as him. The first story is called The Repairman a short prequel to the main story. We are introduced to two characters; space-travelling mechanic Stel and his associate Atan, who are called to repair a vehicle on an alien planet. Stel enters the Waymaster to repair it, but in order to do this he must reach into his own memories to achieve a breakthrough. It is a very poignant story and one which sets up the main one perfectly. By now, we are more acquainted with our two protagonist Stel and Atan, and in Upon a Star, they crash land on a strange planet and an ancient camp of humans and aliens living around a mysterious blue pyrmaid. Nobody quite knows what the pyrmaid is, but it seems to possess mysterious powers such as prolonging life. It is only after Stel experiences headaches and a strong temptation towards approaching the pyrmaid when we begin to understand who or what the pyrmaid is, and more importantly, its purpose. It is a stunning story, absolutely gorgeous to behold and with a strong feeling of beauty and wonderment; this is what real science fiction is, it makes you question, and gives you inspirations and fuels your dreams. By forcing myself to draw Upon a Star in a style as pure as simple as possible, I could no longer find myself refuge in an excess of details. The results are simply breathtaking to say the least. Simple, and yet very striking and profound.
