The Sainsbury Institute is pleased to announce that a book edited and translated by one of our Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Fellow, Ryan Holmberg, won the prestigious Will Eisner Comic Industry Award. The book, Tezuka Osamu’s The Mysterious Underground Men, includes an essay by Holmberg and is published by PictureBox. It received the award for Best U.S. Edition of Foreign Material, Asia. Unfortunately, PictureBox is no longer operational. Dr Holmberg hopes that this encourages another publisher to take a chance on picking up the series. Osamu Tezuka’s The Mysterious Underground Men
