An art magazine Geijutsu Shincho (芸術新潮) featured the great manga writer Tezuka Osamu last month. (手塚治虫)
Needless to say, he was the greatest manga writer in Japanese manga hitory. He created new manga style just after the WW2. He affected many young people and not a few became his followers....
When Tezuka was a kid, he loved insects very much. His pen name has a insect in it----虫----
These pictures below were painted by him when he was a middle school student. As it was during WW2 and lack of paint, he gave up painting more pictures.
