February 24 Extra Issues – Osamu Tezuka pt. 3: Swallowing the Earth, Apollo’s Song, Ode to Kirihito, The Book of Human Insects, MW
A sentient sperm, a human dog, and the sexiest podcaster alive (Dave, Charlotte, and Zack, not necessarily in that order) continue our six part series on the works of Osamu Tezuka.
CW: These comics contain very graphic depictions of sexual violence.
Comics covered in this episode:
– Swallowing the Earth, Apollo’s Song, Ode to Kirihito, The Book of Human Insects & MW
Topics discussed:
– Zack makes the most insane comparison to a modern comic writer (but is correct).
– Do we prefer Tezuka’s very adult works to his more children-focused earlier works?
– How on earth did he create so much?
Next up, we’re continuing our six month series covering the work of Osuma Tezuka:
4. Ayako & Buddha
5. Black Jack
6. Message To Adolf & Phoenix
