Episode 72: The Book of Human Insects by Osamu Tezuka
b'
The CDB Crew is back and this time they are finally tackling some Tezuka! Darci chose The Book of Human Insects (Vertical) which was a trip to read especially for those in the group only familiar with his all ages works. So obviously, it\'s a good conversation to be had. You can definitely believe me on that, I would tell you otherwise despite me having skin in the game.. I promise.
Content Warning though for the main topic as there are discussions regarding suicide and sexual assault due to the subject matter. We\'re respectful of course, but just wanted to give you all a heads up.
We also talk about the sad news that Netflix has cancelled Bone and that it may have been the last chance of getting an adaptation of this work in other media.
Other books discussed this episode: Slumber #1-2 by Tyler Burton Smith, Vanessa Cardinali, Simon Robins, and Steve Wands (Image); Maiden vol 1 and 2 by Florence Dupr\\xe9 la Tour (Europe Comics); Until My Knuckles Bleed #1by Victor Santos (Behemoth)
