Here is the latest in Vertical's excellent run of Tezuka's late-career, mature graphic novels. This story contained in this 364 page stand-alone softcover edition was originally published in 1970 and 1971.  The Book of Human Insects ranges far and wide:  from New York City to Tokyo, from the world of design to the world of entomology, from backrooms to boardrooms, from science to sex.  A work of transformation and metamophosis full of cartooned caricatures and detailed renderings; another trademark Tezuka.
