But I do not find myself able to dive into his stories for the sake of those stories-I've always got to have an ulterior motive, usually one associated with academic appreciation.īecause of this, giving Pluto a chance was a hard sell for me. As an archaeological window into the development of the form, yes. As the comics form has evolved and storytelling grown into using a more mature set of tools, I find myself unable to appreciate Tezuka as story. They are so deeply products of their times that they appear quaint and stilted-to me at least (I've spoken before of my trouble with attempting to escape my biases). I think I may be too far divorced from the period of his innovation to view the works as fresh. Beyond a hard-won affection for his Buddha, I haven't come to take much enjoyment from the other books of his I've sampled. I haven't actually been a huge booster of the works of Osamu Tezuka.
