Moebius and Miyazaki have been fans of each others work for a long time:
Miyazaki: I directed Nausicaä under Moebius’ influence.
Wow, I had no idea they were fans of eachother. Nausicaa is my favorite manga of all time, I just wish there would be a full series adaptation for it some day.

… made the series of your dreams!
So a full adaptation of Nausicaä. I really like the film, but the manga is so much better.
Did not know about this. Thanks for the share!
There was an earlier post in which I was theorising about Japanese and Euro cartoonists ‘cross-fertilising’ so to speak, and it’s fun to learn it actually happened in this case.
Osamu Tezuka would be another guy I’m curious about. For example, could Hergé or other early-ish BD cartoonist have influenced him?
