In a chilling depiction of evil, the godfather of Japanese manga explores the darker side of man through religion, sadism and bestiality from the perspective of a twisted man who is bent on destroying the world. Steering clear of the humour and design that enliven many of Tezuka''s better known works, MW explores a dark modern reality where neither divine nor secular justice seems to prevail. This wilfully ''anti-Tezuka'' achievement from the master''s own pen is as bracing today as it was 30 years ago and is a must-have for any fan.
