Imagine if all of Walt Disney’s work-not just the movies but everything else that took inspiration from all his creations-had never been seen outside the United States, or even outside of California, until decades after his death. At one Japanese bookstore in New York City, an entire shelf over six feet high and three feet wide was packed top-to-bottom with nothing but his work-in very small volumes-the vast majority of which has never been published in any other language except Japanese. He drew hundreds of thousands of pages in his lifetime, and did everything from simple children’s stories ( Unico) to cosmic odysseys that spanned millennia and civilizations ( Phoenix, Buddha). Osamu Tezuka is routinely called “the god of manga”, not just because of the sheer size of his lifetime output but its breadth and depth. ![]()
