Life and death, twists and turns, Tezuka Osamu combines classic heart with the depth and mystery of The Twilight Zone in this beautiful, startling collection. The Crater is a series of horror-inspired, self-containing short stories that show the depravity of mankind in a way only the “god of manga” can. Tales range from the world of nymphs and interdimensional adventures, to deadly spiders on planes and depictions of apocalyptic futures. While some stories loosely connect, each story is its own carefully laid experience. Tezuka will chill readers with dark visages of the world counterpointed with his amazing art style that has influenced fans for decades.
