You’ll also catch a glimpse of the vast possibilities offered by comic art as a form. If you haven’t read a comic since your childhood Sunday funnies, you need only watch this program to understand why the artist’s passing on Saturday brought forth so many breathless tributes. I don’t know what would constitute a non-banal manner of death - or, for that matter, a banal one - but nobody familiar with modern comic art could believe that Jean Giraud, also known as Mœbius, could possibly have lived a banal life. “I’ll die in some truly banal manner, the way I live,” says the subject of BBC Four’s In Search of Mœbius.
