This incredible TV show was based on the surrealist concept of &quot;Cadavre exquis&quot; and made a bunch of cartoonists work together on a large drawing board around a common idea.&lt;p&gt;Jean Giraud participated in a number of episodes, including this one with Joe Kubert and Neal Adams:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xj263p_joe-kubert-neal-adams-jean-giraud-1972_creation&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xj263p_joe-kubert-neal-adam...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Moebius leaves a long trail of beautiful work behind him.</text></comment>

The work was so vast and different, so fantastic, I couldn&apos;t imagine the things he gave life to, on my own. I understood that then as I do now. It was greatness and he shared it through art. By that process he made me a rich man. Rich of thought. A true treasure. I have no words that can express how saddened I am by the news of his passing. It simply makes me cry and hurt. This is an irreparable loss.</text></comment>
