Zephyrus is part of Tezuka\u2019s \u201cstar system\u201d ], his troupe of characters that recur in manga from beginnings to the mid-70s when he abandons it. \u201cSince his readers understand that Tezuka\u2019s manga are \u2018cinematic,\u2019 most Japanese critics rarely mention this idiosyncratic way in which Tezuka conceived his characters as real actors.\u201d[1] Zephyrus debuts in Swallowing the Earth (1968). Schodt observes in the afterword that Tezuka’s compromise with gekiga led to the development of a voluptuous, mature seductress rather than the juvenile man-killer\/ femme fatale that populates so many of his contemporary (and subsequent) peers’ publications. Zephyrus recurs in Black Jack (as the Black Queen) 13 Jan 1975, an installment in the series, 57 \u201cBlack Queen\u201d and also in installment 200 \u201cthe Last Train\u201d 16 Jan 1978.
