In 1973 Osamu Tezuka began drawing Black Jack. This is a long series (more than 5000 tables), which with this book has reached its twenty-fifth volume, which has as its protagonist a very skilled doctor disbarred, apparently cynical and venal but in reality a tragic figure, haunted by destiny because of his own pride. And above all, always ready to protect and help the weak and needy.

In "Black Jack" the protagonist is a mysterious and very skilled unlicensed surgeon who presents himself as a cynic and profiteer, a genius of surgery who works only for money, but who is always ready to protect and help the weak and needy, putting himself against the mighty and the lowly. "The name Black Jack - writes Tezuka - indicates a metal glass (once made of wood), but it also has the meaning of a pirate flag, marked with a skeleton. I chose this comparison with pirates because the protagonist of the work grabs money and brutally chops with a scalpel.It has no connection with the card game of the same name

Towards the end of the sixties, Osamu Tezuka ended the production of manga for children thus detaching himself from the previous works characterized by characters who manifested a rational and harmonious attitude towards life. The author had in fact lost faith in the "heroes of justice" and in society which, although that period was particularly prosperous for the Japanese economy, did not seem able to overcome its weaknesses and contradictions, and indeed, blinded by consumerism , it allowed the darker aspects of man to emerge. Hence the choice to create characters whose morals differ considerably from the ethics of the state, such as Black Jack - eponymous hero of the series published between 1973 and 1978 - a doctor who lives in hiding.
