This year’s 22nd issue of Shogakukan’s Big Comic magazine revealed on Wednesday that Go Nagai (Devilman) will draw a manga about a business trip to San Diego he and manga pioneer Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy) took in 1980. The magazine will publish the manga with the title Go to Travel: Tezuka-sensei to no America Tabi on November 25th with 18 pages.
Nagai made his debut as a manga artist with Meakashi Polikichi in 1967 and created many classic and genre-defining works, including Cutie Honey, Devilman, Mazinger Z and Harenchi Gakuen. Over the past few years he’s been writing new spin-offs, such as his ongoing manga Devilman Saga. He also published the autobiographical Gekiman! Manga about the making of its various notable titles.
Tezuka was a prolific manga artist who drew numerous influential works, including Astro Boy, Jungle Emperor Leo, Black Jack, Princess Knight, Dororo and Phoenix, and many others. These works would inspire subsequent generations in manga storytelling and the arts, earning him the nickname “The God of Manga”. Equally significant is his founding of Mushi Production Studio, where he directed the production of anime adaptations of many of his manga and other original productions. Perhaps the most significant of these was Astro Boy, based on Tezuka’s manga, which became Japan’s first half-hour animated series. The show pioneered animation techniques and production methods that spawned the earliest television anime aesthetics and styles.
