Say Hello to Bookila! (Manga)

Originally published from April 26 to July 26, 1985, Osamu Tezuka's Say Hello to Bookila! (1985) was a follow up to Prime Rose (1982-83) and Kibando (1984) in Weekly Shonen Champion. Following the tradition set by other great Tezuka series The Rainbow Parakeet (1981-82) and Black Jack (1973-83) that were featured in that same popular publication.

Don Dracula (Manga)

Tezuka's slapstick vampire comedy, Don Dracula (1979) was published, following the conclusion of his popular Black Jack (1973-83) manga's original run, in Weekly Shonen Champion from May to December 1979. A minor hit, in 1982 it spawned an animated television show. Originally slated for 26 episodes, only four were broadcast before the sponsor went bankrupt.
