Whilst Tezuka rose to prominence with iconic characters such as Astro Boy and Black Jack, earning himself the title the 'God of Manga', the artist himself regarded this work as the first of his signature 'story manga'. Originally published in 1948, The Mysterious Underground Men tells the story of Mimio the talking rabbit, as he struggles to prove his humanity while helping his friends save earth from an invasion of angry humanoid ants. Drawing widely on European and American science fiction, this graphic novel is printed in luxurious full-colour.
