F. K. Waechter was a renowned German cartoonist, author, and playwright.

Starting 1962, Waechter worked for the satire magazine Pardon, working on the layout and as a cartoonist. He designed the well-known title character for the very first issue, a little devil who smiles as he tips his hat. At Pardon Waechter developed his talent for comic cartoons. Together with Robert Gernhardt and F. W. Bernstein, he designed the regular nonsense page Welt im Spiegel from 1964 onwards. While at Pardon, he co-founded the Neue Frankfurter Schule (New Frankfurt School), a group of eminent comic writers and cartoonists.

Osamu Tezuka was a Japanese manga artist, cartoonist and animator. Considered to be among the greatest and most influential cartoonists of all time, his prolific output, pioneering techniques and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as "the Father of Manga" or "the Godfather of Manga". He is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during Tezuka's formative years. Though this phrase praises the quality of his early manga works for children and animations, it also blurs the significant influence of his later, more literary, gekiga works.

Tezuka began what was known as the manga revolution in Japan with his New Treasure Island published in 1947. His output would spawn some of the most influential, successful and well-received manga series including the children's manga Astro Boy, Princess Knight and Kimba the White Lion, and the adult-oriented series Black Jack, Phoenix and Buddha, all of which won several awards.
