Phoenix, Vol. 8: Civil War: Part Two/Robe of Feathers

by Osamu Tezuka, Osamu Tezuka (Illustrator)

Overview

Civil War: Part 2 continues the story of the turbulent events of 12th century Japan. The everyman Benta has become an unwilling samurai, witness to senseless killings and the replacement of one brutal regime with another even more so.

The volume culminates with "Robe of Feathers." Based on the Japanese fable Hagoromo-densetsu, this experimental short story dealing with the horrors of war is portrayed from one fixed angle as if it were enacted onstage and observed from audience seats.

About the Author

Regarded by many as the "God of Manga," Osamu Tezuka was a prolific author and artist, and is generally regarded as the single figure responsible for developing Japan's massive manga and anime industries. His cinematic art style and novelistic narratives have made his work as universally accessible and relevant now as when first published in Japan. A list of his well-known and universally loved work includes the classic Jungle Emperor Leo (also known as Kimba the White Lion), Black Jack, Adolf, Mighty Atom (known as Astro Boy in the U.S.) and Metropolis (made into a hit anime film in 2001).
