Support publication of Tezuka manga outside of Japan!

Here is a very important opportunity to help send a meaningful message to Tezuka Productions!!
For as little as $1 you can actually be a part of sending a message that WE WANT TO READ OSAMU TEZUKA'S WORKS IN ENGLISH!!
sorry to shout!
I did become a backer, but you don't have to. At the very least, leave a message of support. Our colleagues on Tezuka In English explain the whole project (thanks TIE!):

Apparently the support for this is flying off the charts. Helen McCarthy (author of The Art of Osamu Tezuka) is contributing a commentary for the "digital companion" that will be produced. Here's an opportunity for anyone who's longed for access to works not published outside of Japan to help start a new trend!
Now we've got to get the rest of Astro Boy translated and published...
YAAAY!
