From what I've found, this piece keeps coming back to Theo Bouvier, a Parisian artist, and yet his typical space-exploration work looks nothing like this one, y'know?

In any case, when I restarted the sub/community on PF, I'd completely forgotten to include the "Wimmelbilder" category; oh dear. Eh, so let's see if I can go through the record of posts and try to correct that, shall we..?

I never did read the AKIRA manga

I wholeheartedly recommend reading the manga. While the anime certainly is outstanding and legendary on its own, it only features the beginning of the actual full story arc, that is featured in the manga. I would go as far as calling the anime an intro/teaser for the manga, which takes the story to a whole new scale. I still remember reading it in 1993 as a twelve year old and how it pulled me in, enjoy!

Okay, thanks for explaining! In fact, I have something of a resistance to manga these days, but will keep it in mind for when I'm in the mood, again...
