Vertical will publish three volumes of a limited hardcover edition of Osamu Tezuka ’s Black Jack manga with exclusive stories for Diamond Comics Distributors. Tezuka pioneered modern Japanese manga with the Black Jack medical drama, Mighty Atom ( Astro Boy ), Jungle Emperor ( Kimba the White Lion ), Metropolis , and many other popular works. Vertical is also publishing a regular softcover edition of Black Jack which includes stories in the order that Tezuka personally selected for a deluxe edition in Japan. Tezuka chose not to include some stories in that Japanese edition, but Tezuka Production announced it will be re-publishing these excluded stories after his 1989 passing. The exclusive stories in Vertical and Diamond’s hardcover edition are culled from these excluded stories. This collection of supplemental bits scattered across the length and breadth of the series is meant primarily for devoted fans of the TV series or manga. read more
