The Art of Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga

Post by Jet_Jaguar »

This sounds like a really interesting book. I had no idea that it was even coming out until I came across it while browsing through Amazon.com when I probably should have been trying to sleep last night:

It even comes with a 45 minute DVD with a documentary about Tezuka's career. I wonder if it has any interview footage. The recent Astonishing Work of Tezuka Osamu DVD has an interview, but it's kind of disappointing (the DVD is still worth picking up).
