His most famous body of work as Gir concerns the ''Blueberry'' series, created with writer Jean-Michel Charlier, featuring one of the first antiheroes in Western comics, and which is particularly valued in continental Europe. As Mœbius he achieved worldwide renown (in this case in the English-speaking nations and Japan as well – where his work as Gir had not done well), by creating a wide range of science-fiction and fantasy comics in a highly imaginative, surreal, almost abstract style. These works include ''Arzach'' and the ''Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius''. He also collaborated with avant-garde filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky for an unproduced adaptation of ''Dune'' and the comic book series ''The Incal''.
Mœbius also contributed storyboards and concept designs to numerous science-fiction and fantasy films, such as ''Alien'', ''Tron'', ''The Fifth Element'', and ''The Abyss''. ''Blueberry'' was adapted for the screen in 2004 by French director Jan Kounen. Provided by Wikipedia
