Works
I’ve that conviction and I really love to do what I’m doing.
It’s not easy ’cause I don’t have a normal working shedule, I work almost seven days a week, sometimes during holydays, and as I don’t have an agent or representant I also must to negotiate, lear about legal stuff, etc. But I’m not complaining, I’m very happy to make a living from what I love! – Interview for Colorvision Magazine
Sketches
comics are the big influence in my work, mainly underground comix.
As I already said I really love the work of artists like Robert Crumb, Art Spiegelman, Loustal, Mattotti, Moebius, Harriman, Serge Clerc, Hergé, Joost Swarte, Hayao Miyazaki, and the works of many Argentine colleagues. In general I like comics from individuals, not the ones originated into the American industry that produces works in series, as if they were shoes, I love those personal and crafted works, like the exquisite “RAW” Mag from Art Spiegelman, and also I love a lot of Childrens picture books! – Interview for Colorvision Magazine

It is purely speculative personal opinion, but it seems that being in the U.S. would probably pique interest in his work here. Also, being here, he would be more accessible and so would his work. My view is that interest would be sparked in his work.
If you own some, this is probably good news.

My only film I see from him is "Howl's Moving Castle." The English-dubbing was perfect.

'Maus' by Art Spiegelman was followed up by 'Maus II.' (He also wrote a great book about Sept. 11 called 'In the Shadow of No Towers…) Both were great: I would have thought that Jewish mice, German cats, and British dogs would be distracting, but it is so easy to get enraptured by the story.
How about 'The Diary of a Young Girl' by Anne Frank? You have to get a copy that was published after Anne Frank's father lost control of the manuscript. He heavily edited the original.

Secondary,
A primary source is a first hand account, if he's telling someone elses' story, its second hand, hence its being a secondary source.
