Walter Moers (born 24 May 1957 in Mönchengladbach) is a German comic creator and author. ==Life and work== Walter Moers held odd jobs after leaving school before starting a commercial apprenticeship. He taught himself how to draw. Moers has been publishing since 1984. He first became known for cartoon-like comics that were marked by an ironic view of the world and a conscious violation of political correctness. Many of his works first appeared in the satirical magazine ''Titanic''. Although he doesn't contribute to the magazine anymore, he's still listed as contributor. His last work published in 'Titanic' was the Superhero-Parody 'Deadman' (not to be confused with the DC-Comics Superhero of the same name, Moers' character was just a dead man lying in a coffin for three pages without a word or any change in the pictures). His best-known comic characters are: * Das kleine Arschloch (The little arsehole), a precocious and irreverent little boy who constantly gets one over on the adults. * Der alte Sack (The old curmudgeon), a terminally ill old man in a wheel chair who makes sarcastic comments on what he sees. * Adolf, die Nazisau (Adolf, the Nazi pig), an absurd interpretation of Adolf Hitler in today's world. * Käpt'n Blaubär (Capt'n Bluebear), an old sea-faring bear with blue fur that would spin ridiculous pirate yarns, all of which he claimed were true. In addition to these comics clearly intended for an adult audience, Moers also writes stories and books that he has been publishing since 1985. In 1988, his first "Käpt'n Blaubär" story was published, a character that has since been popular on TV, in books, and on audio cassettes. Starting in 1999 with ''The 13½ Lives of Captain Bluebear'', Moers has more recently become famous for his novels, especially the ''Zamonia'' series. Moers wrote both the script and the song lyrics for the movie ''Kleines Arschloch'' (1997) and the script for the movie ''Käpt'n Blaubär'' (1999). Walter Moers avoids publicity and rarely gives interviews or allows himself to be photographed. 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「Walter Moers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
