A selection of artwork from another prominent French Comic Artist and Heavy Metal contributor Enki Bilal, whose career spans right back to the start of the 1970’s. His style’s fairly similar to that of Moebius in that it’s very much charaterised by gorgeous and elaborate costume design, although It actually reminds me more of the work of Russ Nicholson (I will post more Russ soon!) anyway read a bit more about Enki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enki_Bilal

Now, his style has evolved!
Your blog is very cool!

Probably one of the most brilliant artists out there.
I loved the Nikopol series, it was a thing of beauty.

He certainly is among my favorite comics artists along with Moebius, Gimenez and Caza.

Enki Bilal also directed a CGI/live-action movie version of his Nikopol trilogy. Well worth checking out, if you’re a fan of his work.
