...many stunning sequences, including one where Dr. Urabe begins going mad. His body disappears and a wedge cleaves his head in two in a psychedelic sequence that wouldn't be out of place in a drug film of the same era. (Kirihito was originally serialized in 1970.) The design of Tezuka's pages endlessly varies in shape and flow to reflect the action of a sequence or a character's state of mind. He never shies away from crazy experimentation, as when one panel uses a distorted photograph in a character's word balloon to emphasize the stress...

Many of them, including the tube top, took off. Tahari realized...

"Tahari's success comes from the fact that the look is not too fashion forward and not too conservative," says Dana Telsey, CEO of Telsey Advisory Group (TAG), an independent research firm. "They've also captured a very wide audience--both the upper-end consumer and the aspirational consumer...
