Although I know the most famous works of Leiji Matsumoto by title like Space Battleship Yamato, Captain Harlock and Galaxy Express 999 among others, I have never read them. I recall the anime growing up but didn't watch it either so my affinity for his work comes from images I have seen over the years and understanding his importance and influence in the world of manga and anime. Happy to add this second page to my collection. It is time to read me some Matsumoto manga!

About Leiji Matsumoto
Leiji Matsumoto (松本零士 Matsumoto Reiji, born Akira Matsumoto (松本晟), January 25, 1938 in Kurume, Fukuoka, Japan) is a well-known creator of several anime and manga series. His wife Miyako Maki is also a manga artist.
Matsumoto is famous for his space operas such as Space Battleship Yamato. His style is characterized by tragic heroes; tall, slender, fragile-looking heroines with strong wills and in some cases, god-like powers; and a love of analog gauges and dials in his spacecraft.
