From "New Treasure Island," by Osamu Tezuka

Japan’s largest electronic book seller has announced it will put online the works of legendary manga creator Osamu Tezuka.

Papyless is teaming with Tezuka Productions to upload at least 448 stories by the pioneering cartoonist, who died in 1989. The works, which go online March 18, include Astro Boy, Black Jack and New Treasure Island.

It will cost about a dollar to read a volume over a 48-hour period. Buying the work online will run about $3.
