Thanks for posting this.

Sergio Aragones also has one:

They both mentioned Osamu Tezuka. I had to look him up on Wikipedia.

Thanks for the link to this video. I'm a big fan of Osamu Tezuka's work, so I think that it's really cool that I've sort of had second-hand contact with him through meeting Stan Sakai. Unfortunately, I was about 9 or 10 years old when Tezuka died in 1989 (and probably had no idea who he was at that time), so I missed out on meeting him. I wonder if Tezuka ever saw any of Stan's work. It's too bad that he never wrote an introduction for a volume of UY.

If you're new to Tezuka's work, I would highly recommend picking up one of the volumes of Black Jack recently published by Vertical. The Astro Boy volumes published by Dark Horse are worth reading too, but the quality of the stories is a bit mixed (in an introduction to one story, Tezuka says that there are some Astro Boy stories that he doesn't like that much).

I enjoyed the video with Sergio too. I love that he's a comic book artist who looks sort of like a cartoon character.

Really nice humble guy. I really think its awesome the way Stan seems to genuinely care about the fans. Refreshing in this industry.

Thanks for always putting up with us, Stan. We know we can be a bunch of weirdos sometimes.
