BLACK JACK 4
Black Jack (Vol. 4) (Italian) Paperback
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 a wooden vault), 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 money-grabbing work and brutally cuts to pieces with a scalpel. It has no connection with the card game of the same name. "
