Joanna et al.,

Thanks for the reminder of Tezuka's series. I have the first two  
volumes and I enjoyed them a great deal. I'm not a comics reader, but,  
as Duffy says, Tezuka brings you into that world with ease. Back at  
the height of my flickering fame, I had some back-and-forth with  
Vertical, the publishers (though the series is now published by  
HarperCollins), and even blurbed the books. I really did enjoy them.  
Now I reckon I'll have to get the rest of the series. Perhaps I'll  
read them to my daughter (though there's plenty of violence).

Great countercultural jibes from Duffy, too.

Franz
