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 with 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. He remains a regular contributor to this day.

In addition to these comics clearly intended for an adult audience, Moers also writes stories and books for children that he has been publishing since 1985. 1988, his first Käpt'n Blaubär story was published, a character that has since been popular on TV, in books, and on audio cassettes.
Moers wrote the both the script and the song lyrics for the movie "Kleines Arschloch" (1997) and the script for the movie "Käpt'n Blaubär" (1999).
Walter Moers is said to avoid publicity and very rarely gives interviews or allows himself to be photographed.
