Yet at the same time Mœbius can create these amazingly simplistic scenes, that show so little and say more with what's missing.

say more with what’s missing.

I'm not sure I ever really thought about it, but yeah... good point. The way that Giraud (Moeby) could summon up an entire world with little more than a simple sketch(!)

It's funny, Juan Giménez
from Argentina was similarly on the level of Moebius and Richard Corben IMO, but in his case, could spend an entire album drawing exquisite art, and yet I didn't know what the hell he was talking about, by the end of the album.

Didn't matter the language, either. Masterful, efficient storytelling is a vital art IMO...
