几乎所有的漫画读者都熟悉手冢·奥萨姆最具代表性的系列《大原子》1，但普通读者可能不熟悉这个系列的最早版本《大使原子》，该系列于1951年4月刊《ShōNen》开始连载。这也是《日美和平条约》签署的那一年。2由于美国政府在今年早些时候，也就是3月27日，向日本政府发送了和平条约草案，所以当Atom大使出现时，条约的主题已经被公之于众。由于Atom大使在1952年3月之前一直在连载，在连载过程中，日本既与日本签署了和平条约3，也签署了日美相互保障条约4，并看到其“特使”和“全体委员会”成员返回日本。正是《Atom大使》这个标题赋予了主人公一系列与后来的《强大的Atom》完全不同的属性，正如我将在下文中讨论的那样，Atom作为国家大使在冲突时期的呈现反映了这个时代的关切。尽管如此，解除武装的原子的形象：手冢Osamu在战争与和平中的漫画O T S u k a i i j i

This was also the year the Japan–U.S. Peace Treaty was signed.2 Because the American government had sent a draft of the peace treaty to the Japanese government earlier in the year, on March 27, the topic of the treaty was already in the air when Ambassador Atom (Atomu Taishi) appeared. Because Ambassador Atom ran in serialization until March 1952, in the course of its serialization Japan signed both the Treaty of Peace with Japan3 and the Japan–U.S. Mutual Security Treaty,4 and saw its “special envoys” and members of the “plenary committee” return to Japan. The very title, Ambassador Atom, imparts to its hero a set of attributes completely different from those of the later “Mighty Atom,” and as I will discuss below, the presentation of Atom as an ambassador for the nation in a time of conflict reflects the concerns of the era. Nonetheless, the image of the Disarming Atom: Tezuka Osamu’s Manga at War and Peace O T s u k a e i j i
