Introduction to Comics
How to Get Into Comic Books (13:40) | Patrick Willems
Consider your intent/commitment. Think about your favorite shows, movies, books, etc. Reading primarily for enjoyment or encyclopedic knowledge? Collecting? Have the time/resources to read 50 or 500 comics per character?
Don’t try to read everything at once. There’s too much. Forget about catching up, continuity, universes, etc. for now. Older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences, so they aren’t necessarily ideal starting points. Writers change often, characters get re-worked, and origins are re-told. Remember, there are many great characters, creators, publishers, etc. to explore.
Pick an interesting character/team and seek their most popular/acclaimed stories. Focus on self-contained, complete stories in one corner of the universe. There will be unexplained references/characters, just persevere or Wiki. Don’t let the tangled web of shared-universe comics overwhelm you. Think of it like solving a jigsaw puzzle one small piece at a time until you finally see the big picture.
Discover your preferences and let them guide you. Don’t get stuck preparing/over-analyzing, just start reading. Do you like/dislike old/new comics? Specific writers/genres? Cartoony/realistic art? Familiar/weird concepts? References/self-contained? All-ages/mature content? Follow these instincts. Didn’t understand a reference? Maybe read that next.

Astounding stuff.
It’s part of a series that famed French comic artist Jean Giraud, better known as Moebius, did for Hermes back in 2011. It was one of the last major projects he did before he died in 2012. Check out more info on theses particular drawings Here! and if you want to get a good feel for his work read The Incal. Jodorowsky did the writing for incal and it’s pretty out there but I firmly believe it’s the pinnacle of comic/graphic novel genre.
*I totally lied to you! I have a piece from the Hermes campaign on the opposite wall. This one is actually a piece of concept art he did of Tatooine for Star Wars. Full image is Here!. I’m gonna leave the rest up bc I’m a huge Moebius fan boy and it’s vaguely fashion related.
This is the uncensored one

Haven’t seen Arzach in English anywhere but the Incal is on Amazon for a good price.

Yeah I’m aware, but is this one one or the other?

Ah jeez...that is a though one. Sadly "Art of Moebius" (and i have it) is not very good. I mean its very good book, but it covers so little of his immense work that its kind of pointless.
The Fifth Element book has works from different artists, so its not great choice for all Moebius book.
Its quite though to find a good artbook by him - but this one is considered to be quite encompassing

However I would rather go with his comics for more artwork and considerably lower price :

Any idea if this edition found on Amazon has the original colouring and offers the full story? There's not much info on the product page.
