This is a Signed Limited edition print.This is an oversize signed limited edition printing of Jean Giraud (Moebius) and Geof Darrow's masterpiece 'The Street', originally published in The City of Fire (La Cité Feu) portfolio, released in 1985.
This is hand signed in pencil by both artists and hand numbered from an edition of just 150. This print was published by Moebius's own publishing venture; Aedena Paris, and the print is Blind Stamped with the official logo.
Geof Darrow met Jean Giraud whilst working in films in the USA and subsequently moved to France in order to collaborate on this project. Unfortunately for Darrow (but possibly fortunately for us), Moebius moved away after just a few weeks of Darrow's arrival, leaving Darrow in a cacophony of foreign chaos, which is certainly reflected in this off world drawing, which is certainly inspired by the markets and experiences he had in Paris!
The two artists would collaborate, Darrow pencilling scenes and posting them to Moebius who would ink and colour them. This collaboration is now legendary in Sci-Fi, Cinema and Comic circles.
A tiny tear has been repaired to the lower edge of this print, rendering it practically invisible.
