In an ideal world where man and robots coexist, someone or somethinghas destroyed the powerful Swiss robot Mont Blanc. Elsewhere a key figure in a robot rights group is murdered. The two incidents appear to be unrelated...except for one very conspicuous clue-the bodies of both victims have been fashioned into some sort of bizarre collage complete with makeshift horns placed by the victims heads. Interpol assigns robot detective Gesicht to this most strange and complex case- and he eventually discovers that he too, as one of the seven great robots of the world, is one of the targets.

URASAWA Preeminent manga artist Naoki Urasawa, collaborating with editor, producer and manga writer Takashi Nagasaki, creates a daring revisionist take on Osamu Tezuka s timeless classic Astro Boy. Conceived under the auspices of Tezuka s son Macoto Tezka, a visual artist in his own right, Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka is more than just an homage piece - Urasawa takes Tezuka s masterwork and transforms it into a new groundbreaking series of his own. Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka will surely delight loyal Tezuka fans, but it will also capture the imagination of anyone who loves a compelling work of great science fiction. x TEZUKA The legendary Osamu Tezuka is arguably the most influential person to shape the landscape of the narrative art form known as manga. In 1964, Tezuka created a revolutionary story arc in his Astro Boy series called `The Greatest Robot on Earth.` Tezuka s engaging tale struck a chord with the children of that time to become the most popular story line of the series. It would also prove to profoundly influence and inspire a generation of manga artists to come.
