Tezuka’s undersea adventure, Pippy (1951-53) was originally serialized in Shuiesha’s Fun Book from December 1951 to May 1953, with a one-off Pippy side-story, “Pippy’s Adventure”, appearing in an Fun Book “Special Issue” in August 1952.
Although it is a remake of the original story, Princess Knight [Nakayoshi] (1963-64) is the more well-known of the two. This completely re-draw and re-written version of Princess Knight was serialized in Good Friend from January 1963 to October 1966 and was the main inspiration for the animated television show.
The Age of Adventure, also known as "West Rush", was originally published in Akita Shoten's monthly Adventure King from January 1951 to August 1953. It is partially based on Tezuka's earlier amateur work, Old Man's Treasure Island from 1945.
Phoenix [Shojo Club] (1956-57), Tezuka's reboot of the Phoenix concept, came a mere one year after Phoenix [Manga Shonen] (1954-55) came to an abrupt end in May 1955. As the follow-up to Princess Knight [Shojo Club] (1953-56), it was serialized in Shojo Club from May 1956 to December 1957.
The earliest incarnation of what would eventually become Tezuka's epic masterpiece, Phoenix [Manga Shonen] (1954-55) was Tezuka's follow-up series to the popular Jungle Emperor (1950-54) in Manga Shonen.
Zero Men (1959-60) was Tezuka's follow-up to Dr. Thrill (1959) in Weekly Shonen Sunday, and was originally serialized from September 13, 1959 to December 11, 1960. Much like The Adventure of Rock (1952-54), Captain Ken (1960-61) and Astro Boy (1952-68), Zero Men (1959-60) explores a favoured theme of Tezuka's, the struggle to bridge the gap between two opposing cultures - in this case human being's with tails.
A major turning point in Tezuka's work, the Vampires (1966-69) manga series was originally published in Weekly Shonen Sunday between June 1966 to May 1967, with a sequel appearing in Shonen Book from October 1968 and ending abruptly, mid-story, in April 1969. The series also spawned a live-action television series, with animated animal versions of the vampires in 1969.
Triton of the Sea (1969-71) is Osamu Tezuka's take on the legend of Atlantis and was published from September 1, 1969 to December 31, 1971, in the daily Sankei Newspaper. Originally serialized under the title Blue Triton, the title was later changed to Triton of the Sea to coincide with the 1972 full-colour animated television show.
The Three-Eyed One (1974-78) is, after Astro Boy (1952-68), Tezuka’s most popular shonen (young boy) adventure story. Originally published in Weekly Shonen Magazine from July 1974 to March 1978, the manga series has also spawned an animated TV Special in 1985, as well as a 48-episode animated television series that aired from October 1990 to September 1991.
Seen by many as Tezuka's response to the more dramatic-style geikga movement of manga in the 1960's, Swallowing the Earth (1968-69) began serialization in Big Comic in April 1968 and ran until July 1969.
