  "Paining of cute eye metal tastes going globe"
Tezuka seriously drew manga from 1941, but such entertainment in wartime Japan was frowned on, so it was not until 1946 that he first received a publishing deal.
Tezuka by then was recognised for shifting the blockage of manga visual formulae toward cinematic effects, and infusing his narratives with a range of emotions and tonalities which redefined notions of children's entertainment.
Tezuka's work is often devoid of all plausibility, but freed of pseudo-rational life-likeness, he can freely flow through a current which philosophy, poetry and technology co-inhabit.

Like Tezuka, he was an extraordinarily active man, and drew in a wide variety of fields, ranging from boys' and girls' comics to adult material, and played a major role in raising the status of manga in Japan to their current level, which is nearly equivalent to films and novels in other nations.

Phoenix seems to be one of Tezuka's outlets for exploring the very boundaries of comics the samw way he explored experimental techniques in animation (Jumping, Broken Down, etc.) It is exciting to think how Phoenix came very close to changing the comic industry, translated some time ago (I forget exactly when) by the Dadakai group.

Tezuka himself was a humanist rather than a Buddhist, and his magnum opus is not an attempt at propaganda.
