    "Two-fisted Tales of Surgery" is how it's been described to me.

    This looks good. Damn, how much stuff has Tezuka written, he must've done 24 pages a day to get the output he did. My favorite comic of his is Adolf, but I haven't read this one.

    Black Jack was one of the most awesome things I discovered while living in Japan...


    Who would've thought people would be so interested in reading a comic about a brilliant surgeon, performing "miraculous" operations!


    Nice post Lisa.

    The first time I read Black Jack must've been when I was in my low-teens, or even pre-teen years, around early/mid 80s. I've read the entire series over at least 10 times, I've owned perhaps 3 different versions of the books (and now own the 10 volume hardback deluxe set). Tezuka is my favorite manga author of all time, and I rank Black Jack as his best work (although they're all so good it's hard to rank them). Very, very highly recommended.

    There were a couple of volumes published by Viz (if memory serves) back in the late 90's. Great stuff, and quite an eye-opener if all you know about Tezuka Osamu comes from Astroboy!

    I have to back you up on this one - Black Jack is awesome, and way underrated, even though it's incredibly popular with the folks who know it. :D

    It is published in all europe for more than ten years.
    Sometimes it's hard to believe the cultural isolation of the US, you could find Dragon Ball Z stickers on the school books of little peruvian boys, years before the first episode was broadcast in the US.

    I sure enjoyed the anime OAVs that were released several years ago. It had a more realistic character design approach than the manga and never went into an explanation for Pinoko, but the stories were still strong.
