Black Jack (1973-1983) is Tezuka’s best loved series written more for adults than for children, and Black Jack his most popular adult character. A charismatic but sinister surgical genius, Black Jack travels the world performing seemingly impossible feats of surgery. Among Black Jack's many medical accomplishments are full-body skin grafts, arm transplants, brain transplants, fingerprint transplants, grafting two people together to share one heart, extracting full-body parasites, operating at lightning speed, operating blind, operating in space, operating on a dozen patients at once, operating on dogs, cats, deer, bears, monkeys, birds, whales, aliens, ghosts, mummies, plants and computers, and removing a parasitic worm from his own intestines while under assault by a pack of wild dingos.
