What is The Astro Boy Essays : Osamu Tezuka, Mighty Atom, and the Manga/Anime Revolution about?

The pioneering genius of Japan’s “God of Comics,” Osamu Tezuka (1928–89), is examined through his life’s masterwork: __Tetsuwan Atomu,__ also known as __Mighty Atom__ or __Astro Boy__, a comic series featuring a cute little android who yearns to be more human. The history of __Tetsuwan Atomu__ and Tezuka’s role in it is a road map to understanding the development of new media in Japan and the United States. Topics include Tezuka’s life, the art of animation, the connection between fantasy robots and technology, spin-offs, and __Astro Boy__’s cultural impact. **Frederik L. Schodt** is a translator and author of numerous books about Japan, including __Manga! Manga!__ and __Dreamland Japan__. He often served as Osamu Tezuka’s English interpreter. In 2009 he was received the The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette for his contribution to the introduction and promotion of Japanese contemporary popular culture.
