Went to the big Thanksgiving sale at my local comic shop. Picked up both hardcover volumes of Osamu Tezuka's Black Jack at two for the price of one. I don't know about Tezuka. He's the godfather of Japanese manga, but his stories, especially the releases from Vertical, are pretty gruesome. The have cute characters, but then they feature gore. It's like a rated R cartoon with cute Disney characters. Disturbing.
