Great manga lettering is like a date night outfit—it helps people fall in love with what's underneath, even if you'd be hard pressed to consciously explain why. This excellent piece delves into what makes Phil Christie one of the best in the business.

"...Tezuka's style, which brings the characters' antics to life. His passion for Shakespeare's stories is evident in his unique take on the tales, and that devotion that makes this collection worthwhile."

Thank you, Nubia Jade Brice

One Hundred Tales

A wonderful book (a manga, comic, graphic novel, illustrated story, etc.) by the great Osamu Tezuka, who, in his early forties in 1971, adapted the Faust legend as a samurai period piece in Weekly Shonen Jump. 1/5

I'm gonna paraphrase something @kameronhurley.bsky.social said a number of years ago: Your publisher will try to take as many rights off your work as they can for the least amount of remuneration. Your role is to retain as many rights as possible.

This is the game. It's not personal. Negotiate.

Family names. I love them. They also don't matter. We have so many. We use one or two. But we have more. Our matrilineal names get dropped. I loathe that. But we can't keep track of them all. There's not enough time. Shouldn't try to know them all. Life's short. It's also long. It's all so long.

I'm American and I'm saying date order Month Day, Year makes no sense. Except it does when you think about talking. "Today is February 3." And then you tack on the year. When naming files in folders, Year Month Day is best.

"Osamu Tezuka’s One Hundred Tales is a masterful rendition of the old Faust tale, done in a trademark way unique to the 'Godfather of Manga.' It’s equal parts funny and sad, and it leaves us with an ending that is both uplifting and wistful. 1/2
