"From science fiction, historical fiction, to contemporary drama, Under the Air includes a variety of tales that depict the duality of man -- good and evil; loving and violent. An injured white-supremacist struggles with the fact that he was broght back to life by a black organ donor; a young man in the wild west seeks revenge for his father's murder; an escaped convict holds a family hostage in a cave that causes hallucinations; the only two survivors of a nuclear apocalypse dare to explore the outside world. Tezuka's characters are put to the test when the delicate balance of their minds are disrupted, discovering something dark hidden deep within themselves. Don't miss this uncommon, unheard, ususual, out-of-the-ordinary collection of short stories by the late, great Osamu Tezuka." -- Cover.
