Check out his work on Jodarowsky's Dune.

You'd probably also like Jacek Yerka

You might also like Michael Parkes.

Wow. Thanks for the recommendations. After looking at the art the Yerka and Parkes' work don't connect with me as much as the Moebius work. I don't know... I'm a sucker for illustration, hence the McCay shoutout. Is it safe to assume you like the other artists? If so, what do you like about them? Basically, sell me on them. :-)

...yeah, not feelin' it. I'm of the opinion that you either like art or you don't. I'm not a sucker for line art; two of my friends are storyboard artists and one of them drew for DC forever. Moebius is pretty clever as far as narrative but as artists go - even in the comic space - I think lotsa guys trump him.

I watched Jodorowsky's Dune and it simultaneously looked like the greatest thing ever while convincing me that Jodorowsky is, well, maybe not a nut-job but an incredibly charismatic and I guess unstable person. The entire thing with Salvador Dali was surreal. Amazing documentary.

I don't have any suggestions, I like Moebius a lot and will have to check out your suggestions.
