by: Moebius

This Moebius classic, first published in 1999, features 70 lush intricately detailed full-page pen & ink illustrations from Moebius' sketchbook, reproduced at the same size as the original art.

This current edition is augmented with 8 pieces in color and Moebius' original handwritten texts opposite some of his drawings. It is bound in hardcovers with painted edges, matching endpapers, and a matching ribbon bookmark.

From an interview with Moebius:

“…this is [...] a series of drawings I did in 1999. I was doing Blueberry and after a day working on Blueberry I wanted to rest a little doing that. Instead of watching TV, I used to spend my time drawing…You know, I had a book with me and I was carrying that book everywhere, to the dentist or waiting for the bus… I used to do those drawings without pencil and mainly with my Rotring, total improvisation you know because it is an accumulation of lines and details.”
