Walter Moers (born 24 May 1957 in Mönchengladbach) is a German comic creator and author.
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:
