After reading Vertical's other releases, which are novel-length stories, I felt that the 20-page, episodic format didn't allow Tezuka to really develop his narratives. But as I kept reading, I started to get attached to Black Jack himself, and then each little story sort of became a "big deal". I started to realize that, rather than limiting Tezuka's storytelling, the format allowed him to explore hundreds of different narrative options, and go off in different directions for each one. By volume 4, I was totally hooked. Now I would put it up there with Tezuka's best work.Davidnoreply@blogger.com
