Previews (PX) Exclusive - Volume 3 - 1st printing. Story and art by Osamu Tezuka. Black Jack is a mysterious and charismatic young genius surgeon who travels the world performing amazing and impossible medical feats. Though a trained physician, he refuses to accept a medical license due to his hatred and mistrust of the medical community's hypocrisy and corruption. This leads Black Jack to occasional run-ins with the authorities, as well as from gangsters and criminals who approach him for illegal operations. He charges exorbitant fees for his services - the proceeds from which he uses to fund environmental projects and to aid victims of crime and corrupt capitalists. But because Black Jack keeps his true motives secret, his ethics are perceived as questionable and he is considered a selfish, uncaring devil. The Black Jack series is told in short stories, with each volume in the series featuring 16-20 stories, each ranging from 20-24 pages in length. This third volume reprints 20 more pages of stories of Osamu Tezuka's creation, Black Jack. Hardcover, 6-in. x 8 1/2-in., 304 pages, B&W.
