''Arzach'' is a comic book collection of four wordless short stories by artist/author Jean 'Moebius' Giraud, which were originally published in the French sci-fi/fantasy comics magazine ''Métal Hurlant''. The stories follow Arzach, a silent warrior who rides a pterodactyl-like creature through a strange, desolate landscape. The imagery and situations in ''Arzach'' are often compared to dreams or the subconscious. These stories had an enormous impact on the French comics industry, and the Arzach character is still among Moebius' most famous creations. The spelling of the title, originally Arzach, was changed in each of the original short stories. Moebius later revisited the character with a story called ''The Legend of Arzach''. This later story contains dialogue, and it ties the Arzach stories into a previously unrelated Moebius story called ''The Detour''. ''Arzach'' is credited as the inspiration for the final sequence, "Taarna", of the animated film ''Heavy Metal''. ''Moebius' Arzach'' is a novel by Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier, published by iBOOKS in August, 2000. The book features a cover and inside illustrations by Moebius, and a map by J.O. Ladronn. The first half of the book is a novelisation of several Arzach stories. The second half recursively introduces John Gerard (a thinly-disguised Jean Giraud) and family into the world of ''Arzach''. A brief essay on the publishing history of ''Arzach'' concludes the book. ''Arzach'' was one of Panzer Dragoon's major artistic influences. Jean Giraud even contributed in the creative process of Team Andromeda's game with original artwork. Moebius' 2010 book ''Arzak: L'Arpenteur'' (''Arzak: The Surveyor'') was the first of a planned trilogy to explore the origin of the character. However, with the death of Jean Giraud in March 2012, this vision was never realised. ==See also== * (Arzak Rhapsody (2003 Film), IMDB ) * In 2006 Arzach was planned as Japanese film but only a trailer was finished 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arzach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
