I have been a huge fan of the Aldebaran sequence of graphic novels by Brazilian writer Leo for years and years. This book is a lovely tribute to the sequence, by French comixologist Christophe Quillien, going through the planets, people, aliens and themes of Leo's fictional worlds.

I was particularly interested to read that Leo explicitly credits Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama and Robert Charles Wilson's Spin as inspirations. I love both of those books too, but I found it interesting that Leo acknowledges the Anglo-American sf tradition so firmly. Other influences mentioned are Tarkovsky's Solaris and the great Moebius.
