Gerry Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Can't say much, his work always left me speechless. http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/afp/comic-b...ius-dies/503864 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 11, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted March 11, 2012 Here's a small gallery with some video of him working on his cintiq. http://www.amptoons.com/blog/2012/03/10/je...raud-1938-2012/ No genius secrets revealed, I'm afraid.

jakerupert Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I am a great fan of his work since the old classic "Heavy Metal"/ "Metal Hurlant" days, when he created stuff like "Arzach", "the airtight garage" and "Major Grubert". His Style was so inovative and new back then. He never has been a really great storyteller though ( same like Uderzo) His John Difool/ Jodorwsky stuff kind of drifted off into uninteresting esoteric nonsense (storywise) then. And later he kind of vanished into the movie/storyboard business limbo, where much of his work wasn`t published anymore but just wip help for the movies. Somehow a pity for us comicbook enthusiasts, but I guess, he managed a comfortable living that way. Lately I discovered him also being Gir and the artist of Leutenant Blueberry western series, which are really great also storywise (Charlier is it, if I am right). (On a sidenote: He also was great inspiration for Miyazaki, when he created the Nausicaä manga.) To me he is one of the most important Comicbook artists of all times together with artists like Barks, Franquin, Herge, Tezuka, Corben, and a few others.
