3.0 out of 5 stars Not a Bad First Book, November 12, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lost World Volume 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
This book was my least favorite of the sci-fi trilogy (Lost World, Metropolis, Next World).

The art was done in zincography by two different engravers, so half way through the look changes. It is in the same style as early Merry Melodies, Betty Boop, and Popeye cartoons, but it was done in that era so it makes sense. The art is also not quite as tight or interesting as Tezuka's later works.

The story was entertaining. Another planet comes as close as it will to the Earth and certain people on Earth want to get to the planet to obtain energy chrystals. During the journey we see space ships and dinosaurs. The story drags with no real twists or discoveries.

The characters are the same as in other Tezuka novels, but not as developed as they later become.

Overall it was fine to read, but not nearly as well done as Metropolis, Next World, or Astro Boy. If you really love Tezuka's work and you want to read it all, then pick this up. If you're not a big fan of his work, I doubt you'll like this book.
