Jean Giraud a.k.a. Moebius, a.k.a. Gir

The late Jean Giraud was an impressive force in the comic world, known under the pseudonym Gir for his comic series "Blueberry", and used the name Moebius for his well-known "Métal Hurlant" (Heavy Metal, in english).  His unique abstract and surreal style, described by some as a kind of medieval futurism, has had a huge influence in sci-fi art and film globally.  Films that he has contributed to or has been credited with influencing include Alien, Willow, Tron (1982), The Fifth Element, Star Wars V, Blade Runner, and Space Jam. What a baller.
