Strangely, the bloke who drew the brilliant Squid Interface thing picture for my Supernormal CD was telling me just the other day what a big influence Moebius was on his drawing. Sad. RIP.

Sorry for ignorance - what did he do in 2000AD? I'm not familiar with his work, but I used to read 2000AD.

I thought I remembered reading some reprinted strips in 2000AD, but I might be wrong. I know he once did a couple of Silver Surfer comics for Marvel as well.
Anyways...pretty huge archive of his work available online here: http://theairtightgarage.tumblr.com/

Don't think he ever did anything specifically for 2000AD but they could well have published his stuff, he did a lot in Heavy Metal magazine
I love this

Sad. Loved his stuff. A giant of the euro-fanstasy art scene. Amazing imagination.
RIP.
