Say Hello to Black Jack

In the early 2000s, French publisher Glénat brought Say Hello to Black Jack to readers, a 13-issue series that reimagines the iconic surgeon Black Jack in a modern context. Written and drawn by a team of French creators, this manga-inspired medical drama explores the ethical dilemmas and personal costs of a genius doctor who operates outside the system. While the original Japanese character is a product of Osamu Tezuka's 1970s, this European take offers a distinct, self-contained narrative that stands on its own. For fans of intense, character-driven medical stories, this series is a compelling, lesser-known entry in the Black Jack legacy.
