Osamu Tezuka (1928-89) is the godfather of Japanese graphic novels. A genuine intellectual, deeply familiar with Western culture from the Bible to Goethe to Hollywood, Tezuka originally intended to become a doctor and received an M.D. Though many have followed his example, it is still Tezuka who draws the deepest awe with his sweeping vision, deftly intertwined plots, persuasive characters, feel for the workings of power, and above all, an indefatigable commitment to human dignity and the sanctity of life.
<p>'A stunning achievement.' Publishers Weekly</p>
<p>âIf youâve never tried something like this before, check it out; itâs fascinating stuff. An engrossing read that youâll get through in no time. And then youâll want the other seven instalments.â<br />Starburst</p>
<p>âIf it werenât for [Tekuza] and his ripping religious yarns, we wouldnât have had Akira.â<br />Arena</p>
<p>âYou simply wonât find anyhting else quite touches Tezukaâs innovative use of the manga format, his humour, his intuitive understanding of human nature and his sympathy for the main characters.â<br />Neo [the UKâs number one manga magazine]</p>
