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. La serialización de Alabaster en la revista Weekly Shonen Champion en 1970 y 1971, desató la controversia entre los fans de Tezuka, sorprendidos de que el creador del mundo optimista de Astroboy hubiera realizado un manga rebosante de maldad y desprovisto de héroes.

Dr. Osamu Tezuka ( 手塚治虫 ) was a Japanese manga artist, animator, producer and medical doctor, although he never practiced medicine. Born in Osaka Prefecture, he is best known as the creator of Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion. He is often credited as the "Father of Anime", and is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during his formative years. His prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as "the father of manga" and "the God of Manga."
