Neo Faust - Paperback
by Osamu Tezuka (Author)
One of Osamu Tezuka's final works, an adaptation of the classical Faust legend taking place in Tezuka's contemporary Japan!
After years of failure to discover the meaning of the universe, Professor Ichinoseki decides to end his own life, but he is interrupted by the sorceress Mephisto. They strike a bargain: in exchange for Ichinoseki's soul, Mephisto will grant his wish for a fulfilled life... Originally published over the course of 1988, NEO FAUST is the final of three adaptations of the classical Faust legend by "The Godfather of Manga," Osamu Tezuka, which ABLAZE is proud to present in English for the first time.Osamu Tezuka (3 November 1928 - 9 February 1989) was a Japanese manga artist, cartoonist and animator. Considered to be among the greatest and most influential cartoonists of all time, his prolific output, pioneering techniques and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as "the Father of Manga", "the Godfather of Manga" and "the god of Manga". Additionally, he is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during Tezuka's formative years. Though this phrase praises the quality of his early manga works for children and animations, it also blurs the significant influence of his later, more literary, gekiga works.
