If you haven’t seen the Hennessy X O commercial “The Seven Worlds” by Ridley Scott and are an old school space opera/sci-fi/comics fan, then you are missing out.

Of course it is kinda hokey that it is a commercial, and I am more of a whisky (no “e”) fan than congnac, it is magnifiecent in a “I dropped acid” kinda way.

The influence of the late French artist Jean Giraud, who went by the pen name Moebius (remember Heavy Metal as a kid?), is unmistakable and I beleive a salute to the man who Scott had worked with in the past.

Moebius did a lot of the early storyboard art for Alien in 1979 and even designed a much better suit than what was actually used.

My favorite Moebius is of course the monster hunter in Le Garage Hermétique (The Airtight Garage). Bring enough gun, indeed.
