Missed It: Tezuka Strips Found

Asahi.com has a really nice story about the discovery of some comics made by the master Osamu Tezuka, held in a censorship collection at the University of Maryland. The discoveries include both material no one knew about and at least one comic that people knew about because the title had been mentioned but no one could find the original. I love the thought of people making a catalog of a cartoonist with the kind of scholarly rigor that involves mystery strips mentioned but not found. Also, finding "lost" comics has a kind of Wimbledon Green/Hicksville lighthouse discovery sheen to it. You should read their whole article rather than my republishing portions of it here.
