Manga is well respected both as an art form and as a form of popular literature, though it has not reached the acceptance level of historically higher art genres such as film or music.

That fact didn't improve any company's chances of moving multiple volumes of "historical" manga to what, only five years ago, was still a fringe audience (manga readers) within the not-much larger scope of the rapidly imploding direct market.
Laying aside the demands of bringing the best of Tezuka's work, which were excessively lengthy in competition with comparable Western comics, the two manga of his that were extant at the time, BLACKJACK and ADOLF, illustrate the difficulty in presenting his works to a Western audience largely lacking in the context necessary to appreciate it.

Phoenix is, by Tezuka's own description, his life's work: a sprawling series of interconnected stories written over the course of decades, and spanning ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY.
The connecting thread is the presence of the Phoenix, the immortal bird, as well as the running themes of survival and immortality.

 Madinkbeard » Phoenix 7 and 8
As a whole the series is an epic of gigantic proportions, tracking themes and characters across centuries, but each individual story (well most of them) are themselves epic stories that can be read as singular entities (though much of the greater resonance of the stories is lost outside the context of the whole).
All of them have some kind of crossing of paths with the mythical Phoenix, the immortal bird that dies and is reborn.
