Description

Former sports star James Block gets caught up in crime and imprisoned. During an escape attempt he experiments with a machine designed to turn people invisible, and is horribly disfigured as a result, his skin and outer tissues rendered permanently invisible leaving his insides bare. Determined to destroy everything beautiful in the world, he embarks on a long and twisted crime spree, dragging along Ami, the grandchild of the invisibility machine’s inventor who, due to an accident, was born invisible. Block and Ami are pursued by FBI (Rock), a vain and wicked American special agent who has cheated and seduced his way to the highest ranks of law-enforcement but has no interest in seeing justice done.

James Block ist ein ehemals beliebter Sportler, der wegen kriminellen Machenschaften ins Gefängnis musste. Im Gefängnis trifft er auf Dr. F., einen seltsamen alten Mann, der James von einem Laser(strahl) erzählt, der Dinge unsichtbar macht. Nachdem James aus dem Gefängnis geflüchtet ist und den Laser ausfindig gemacht hat, wendet er diesen an sich selbst an. Doch da der Laser noch nicht ganz ausgereift war, macht James zwar seine Haut unsichtbar, doch sein Inneres bleibt für die Außenwelt sichtbar. Über sein jetziges Aussehen verärgert, nennt er sich nun Alabaster (ein weißer, leicht transparenter Stein) und beginnt alle Heuchler und Aufschneider zu eliminieren. Er wird dabei von Ami Ozawa, der Enkelin des Doktors, unterstützt die selbst unsichtbar gemacht wurde, als der Doktor die schwangere Frau als Testperson für sein »F Strahl« Projekt missbrauchte. Immer hinter ihrer Spur her ist Rock, ein fieser FBI Agent.
Texto de presentación:
James Block, célebre atleta negro, es rechazado por la mujer que ama a causa del color de su piel. Loco de rabia, mata accidentalmente a un hombre y acaba en la cárcel. La injusticia y la desesperación hacen nacer en él un odio indecible hacia el género humano.

Un anciano, compañero de prisión, le lega un rayo que puede hacerle invisible, un invento que le permitirá vengarse de la humanidad bajo el nombre de Alabaster. Tezuka crea un villano complejo, perverso y muy humano, a medio camino entre Fantomas y El hombre invisible.
Testo della bandella:
La vita di James Block, famoso atleta di colore, viene sconvolta nel momento in cui, rifiutato da una donna per il colore della sua pelle, commette un delitto. In prigione fa la conoscenza con un vecchio scienziato che lo mette al corrente di una sua fantastica invenzione che lo trasfermerà in Alabaster, l’uomo dalla pelle di alabastro...
