New DMP Osamu Tezuka Kickstarter – Wonder 3

Digital Manga Publishing’s latest Kickstarter project will be to release Osamu Tezuka’s sci-fi series Wonder 3. It will be released over three volumes, and items being offered for backers include cel art, a poster, and customised journals from Moleskine.

The series takes place on an alternative Earth in the 1960s, with the world overrun by violence and war. The Galactic Foundation consisting of advance alien races sends an elite team to see whether or not the Earth is worth saving. Three of these members: Bokko, Nokko and Pukko, disguise themselves as animals and meet the Hoshi Brothers, who dedicate themselves to.

One of the stretch goals is another Tezuka manga, The Film Lives On, a single-volume manga about two friends who wish to become animators but end up falling out.
