Comic publisher sues over The Fifth Element

Isn't the influence of Moebius obvious to anyone who watches the film?

It's not surprising that the movie shows the influence of Moebius. He worked on it!

Why does one sue nearly 6 years after the movie came out?

plus, there's probably a statue of limitations on something like this. Not only that, they want to get every possible dime out of them, and the only way that is going to happen is through DVD sales.
