A favourite web comic of mine, A Miracle of Science, has just completed it's full run.
If you haven't heard of this one before, it's about "Mad Science" and runs 435 pages long. The story is well done and the art attractive - what more could you ask for? Start reading it at page 0.
The Art Gallery of New South Wales (Art Gallery Road, The Domain, Sydney2000 Telephone 02 9225 1744 or Toll Free 1800 679 278) are having an exhibition of OSAMU TEZUKA's work, starting 23rd February. Allied to this is a free season of Studio Ghibli films, starting 21st of February!
Starting with Astro Boy and Kimba, the work of Osamu Tezuka has had a big influence on me (and of course, millions of Japanese and other fans world wide). Astro and Kimba showed me (at a very early age) that you don't just have to do "superhero" stories in comics, and that what counted was purity of heart and vision over technical proficiency (though he had both) and popularity (though his work is immensely popular).
A few years ago English collections of Astro Boy manga started turning up in the local libraries. It was great to finally read the originals (and also see how the 1980s series came close to the originals). I look forward to finally seeing the original work of the master.
