ABOUT

A storyboard artist and designer on many high-profile films including Alien, Tron, The Fifth Element, and Jodorowsky's Dune as well as a revered comics master, Jean Giraud a/k/a Moebius has influenced numerous authors and film directors. His work has been available sporadically in the US since Marvel published a number of titles in the 90's but Dark Horse will be changing all that with the ongoing releases of the Moebius Library!
Stel and Atan are interstellar investigators trying to find a lost space station and its crew. When they find the mythical paradise planet Edena, their lives are changed forever. The long out-of-print Edena Cycle from Moebius gets a deluxe hardcover treatment at Dark Horse! Moebius's World of Edena story arc is comprised of five chapters- Upon a Star, Gardens of Edena, The Goddess, Stel, and Sra which are all collected here. A storyboard artist and designer (Alien, Tron, The Fifth Element, among many others) as well as comic book master, the work of Moebius has influenced creators in countless fields.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
