Also, don't forget his Phoenix comics were the first to really push comics as an adult medium.

This last point is rather hard to nail down, but while lots of comics in japan were episodic in nature, I think it is possible to think of Tezuka as one of the earliest working in a graphic novel mode (Lost World, Next World, etc.) He probably had a lot of contemporaries in this however.

Basically when you think about US comics in the 50's and 60's, and then realize how early the first translations of phoenix were done (never published), you realize there could have been a revolution in the comic industry. I think volume 2 was done in something like the early 70's, a period when comics in the US weren't at any astounding peak. I don't think it is at all unfair to compare Phoenix 'tale of future' to something like Moore's Watchman (just to pick something obvious), where we don't have our revolution in the way we see comics until the late 80's, but Tezuka was exploring and mutating the media all the way back in the early 60's (or earlier). It is pretty astounding when you think about it.
