 Profile: Nagai Go

I was wondering if you had any idea why it is that Go Nagai is considered one of the most significant figures in manga and anime, although he's never had a single manga released commercially in the US (at least if he has, I've never heard of it)?
Go Nagai unquestionably deserves his acclaim as the influential creator of such classic titles as Cutie Honey, Devilman, and Mazinger, which revolutionized the fields of shoujo (magical girl), horror and giant robot manga and animation respectively.
But while Go Nagai has always been tremendously prolific, his most highly regarded and significant manga works are all quite old, and are arguably significant more for their provocative themes and concepts than for their technical quality as comic art.
