Another of Osamu Tezuka's biting social satires, The Book of Human Insects (1970-71) followed his series of short stories, known collectively as Under the Air (1968-70), and was originally serialized from May 9, 1970 to February 13, 1971 in Play Comic.
Following on the heels of the successful run of Zero Men (1959-60), Tezuka's Captain Ken (1960-61) was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday from December 18, 1960 to August 20, 1961.
One of Osamu Tezuka's most adult and sexually-charged works, Barbara (1973-74) was originally serialized as a follow-up to Ayako (1972-73) in Big Comic from July 1973 to May 1974.
Ayako is another of Tezuka's dark social commentaries on the effects of war on society. It was originally serialized in Big Comic from January 1972 to June 1973.
Arguably Tezuka's second-most well-known series, after Astro Boy (1952-68), Jungle Emperor (1950-54) was originally published as a serial in Manga Shonen between 1950–54. Also widely known as Kimba the White Lion, it is one of Tezuka's earliest serialized (as opposed to all-in-one book) adventures, and its enduring popularity has given rise to several animated television shows.
Originally published in Weekly Shonen King from April to November 1970, Apollo's Song (1970) is, in effect, a microcosm of Tezuka's work that combines nearly all his signature styles and techniques in one mature story.
Originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion, from December 1970 to June 1971, Alabaster is one of Tezuka's most dark and controversial manga series.
The Adventure of Rock was originally serialized in Shonen Club from July 1952 to April 1954, and is another of Tezuka's explorations of the consequences of two different sentient species meeting.
