I found this really wonderful half hour interview with Moebius, from what looks to have been filmed around 1987-88. There’s a pretty monotone translator, but it’s otherwise a very hearty piece. He talks at length about his philosophies behind art, about styles and improvisation, and his lengthy partnership with Alejandro Jodorowsky. I especially like the part where he talks about the formation of Metal Hurlant and how he links that to the May ‘68 protests in France.

The company that put it out is called The Roland Collection, and their “Great Artists in the World of Comics” series has an impressive assortment, including Howard Chaykin, Alan Moore, Enki Bilal, and Milo Manara. Unfortunately, it seems like it’s impossible to obtain any of these anymore. Aside from this Moebius episode, the only other I’ve found available to watch is one featuring the great Alberto Breccia.
