The long wait for the Osamu Tezuka’ classic will soon be over as MW hits the stands on October 30, 2007. Steering clear of the cute designs and slapstick humor that Tezuka defined in such known works as Astro Boy and Kimba, MW is the manga pioneer’s further exploration at redefining and expanding the boundaries of the graphic storytelling medium. Originally serialized in Big Comic in 1976, MW presents the disturbing tale of a man’s loss of conscience and the dichotomous adult life he leads as both society’s darling and its worst nightmare. This decidedly “anti-Tezuka” achievement nevertheless pulsates with his unique genius. And we’ve provided an advance preview of the first chapter to stave off Tezuka withdrawal while you eagerly await release of this masterpiece!
