Moin Harald. Schickes Bild! Ist das ein Einzelbild oder stammt es aus einer Geschichte?
Good stuff! I just fell in love with Franka the style of Henk Kuijper ☺️
What did I just watch? O_o
Q … ?!?
I just now stumbled across the picture by coincidence while going through the Moebius art-book Chaos. Only info given is that it´s from a series of commercial illustrations for Europe-Assistance. I did a little research and found out that it´s a travel insurance company based in Belgium. Further research revealed that the series was printed as an album, titled Europ Assistance : Une belle Aventure, nowadays a rare collectors item, sold privately for around 100€ sometimes.
Beautiful 20-page album presenting Europ Assistance, its history and results, etc. The kind of (in-house) promotional document that will no longer be produced at this level: more than just illustrations, Moebius has created a real universe to accompany this presentation. Exceptional!
Two more image from the series:
It reminds me a lot of Sur l’étoile, the exclusive short comic he did for the company anniversary of Citroën in 1983, which introduced Stel and Atan and later became the basis for the beloved The World of Edena series.
I assume this is also interesting for you @JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee.
Considering we have this nice backstory now, I will probably crop it from Chaos myself and post it on !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee soon :)
Things like this are more than just mildly infuriating to me as a collector. To help all of us calm down after the shock and also to redeem Carlsen Comics, at least a little bit, I present to you my Akira “Original Edition” also known as the “Phone Book Edition”. The layouts of the issues are not accurate to the millimeter but the production tolerance is definitely precise enough to not feel bad about it.
Holy shit, don´t let the Rastafarians see this!
I read some Canardo during my teenage years but had forgotten about it until I saw your post. Damn, I was so scared of Raspoutine, lol.
Outstanding style! Realistic and yet so beautiful that it is almost magical. Especially the light is impressive. Thanks a lot for pointing out Gibrat!
Clearly defined semantics serve the purpose of precise communication. When someone says “pizza”, I want to know what they mean, a pizza or a weird American pie. What is so bad about that?
Eat what you like but please don´t call it a pizza when it´s obviously not.
I am here for that comment, thanks!
Nur her damit! Hochwertige Beiträge können wir hier immer gut gebrauchen :)
