During the 1970s, Jean Giraud, known under the cartoonist name "Gir," decided to create for himself another artistic personality. Having up until then only illustrated a classic western story ("Blueberry"), he decided to use a new pen name, Moebius, to explore different styles and forms of comic book art as influenced by American underground art and the counter-culture wave. In the process, he revolutionized modern French graphic novels. Co-founder of "Métal Hurlant" magazine and of the publishing house Les Humanoïdes Associés, Moebius reinvented the aesthetics of science fiction comics.

Airtight Garage is a keystone for Moebius' work, being probably his hightest point in solo work and a good door-entry. Dispite starting as single short stories with no visible connection between them, it grows to a complex universe that could be explored from any angle, which occurred in late 1980's in the Epic Comics mini-series Elsewhere Prince.
In its B&W version, it can be seem the short hatches and style variations that influenced artists like Frank Miller in his Ronin.
It is not an easy reading and the use of Michael Moorcock's character Jerry Cornelius opens a door to another complex universe (The Eternal Champion) and pays homage to this brilliant Sci-Fy/ Fantasy author.
It is a defining work that must be known by any comic book lover! ( )
