THE BEST WAY TO SPEND A LONELY NIGHT...

...is at home, reading an advance copy of a new volume of one of the greatest manga series of all time. OH YES.




Highlight so far:

• A contagious disease in Africa causes patients to physically shrink in size before dying.


• Black Jack slices open his own intestines to remove a parasite, while fighting off dingos in the outback!


• Robins nicking coins to pay the good doctor to save a little boy;


• Black Jack in a race against time with Dr. Kiriko, Japan's own Doctor Kevorkian stand-in.


• A House-esque short story, where BJ schools some rowdy residents attempting their first surgery.


• A ludicrious story about a young boy Black Jack helps a nurse save, who grows up to be internationally important.


• Coin locker babies, an ironic bank robbery tale, and more!

Thank you, Vertical! Black Jack Vol. 3 will be released on January 20, 2009. Click here for a free online preview.
