New DMP Osamu Tezuka Kickstarter: Clockwork Apple

The latest in Digital Manga Publishing’s series of Osamu Tezuka crowdfunding campaigns has been launched, covering anthology series Clockwork Apple.

Originally published between 1968-1973, the series is a collection of speculative fiction stories. The Kickstarter page for the series reports on stories including, “a man finds a wonder drug, a robot has a baby, a town is subjected to control by substance, a robber runs away from murder, a man searches for his mysterious love, American school kids are kidnapped, an activist takes part in political intrigue, and space hippies defy peace conventions.”

The target for the project is $13,500 by 21.06 on 7th May. There are already plans for a $18,200 stretch goal to release Tezuka’s Brave Dan in print (a title DMP already sell digitally).
