Full title: Ballad against the enemies of France.

One of 18 illustrations he did for Ballades, a book of poems by François Villon. This immediately stood out to me because I've seen so little of Moebius' watercolor & marker work like this.

In fact the pieces as a whole distinctly remind me of major arcana tarot cards. (hmm, I wonder if anyone's had the chutzpah to try arranging such a deck out of his art?)

Whenever I think I have seen all of his different styles something like this shows up and shows me that I was wrong.

I wonder if anyone’s had the chutzpah to try arranging such a deck out of his art?

Well, the position of The Fool is already occupied by a certain, class R private detective :)

Same!
Indeed, check out his "Wheel of Fortune" art, there.

Man, it's PERFECT for Moeby and the Tarot, both!

EDIT: Got too excited, there. :S

Pardon but what exactly do you mean?
