12mo in full color illus glossy paper wraps; chiefly illustrations; 18 cm "Adaption of the Japanese language Akita Shoten collection. The original Japanese artwork was "flipped" to read left to right in order for the stories to read more smoothly in English. Although the stories are reprinted out of their original publication order, they are published in the order Osamu Tezuka himself chose. Because of this, each volume also contains a short framing sequence written and drawn by Tezuka in order to provide explanations and/or background information."--publisher's website.
