About the series
Osamu Tezuka's iconic medical drama Black Jack was presented in a new English-language edition by Vertical from 2008 to 2011, collecting the master's original 1970s manga across 17 issues. Following the unlicensed, morally complex surgeon who operates outside the system, the series showcases Tezuka's signature blend of high-stakes medical storytelling, humanist themes, and expressive artwork. With translation and adaptation by Camellia Nieh and Maya Rosewood, this release made Tezuka's classic accessible to a new generation of readers in a definitive, uncensored format. It remains a landmark for bringing one of manga's most enduring antiheroes to English-speaking audiences.
