About this title
Synopsis
"Alabaster" is a criminal science fiction of suspense depicting the dark side of the human psyche that envies beautiful things. James Block is a young black man with sinister intentions. When he is in prison, a strange old man tells him about the "F" laser beam that makes humans and any other living things invisible. After he has been released from prison, James receives the F laser beam. But because the beam is imperfect, he becomes semitransparent with an ugly figure. From that time on, he calls himself "Alabaster" and hates anything beautiful. Using the F laser beam, he begins to eliminate hypocrites and those who boast of their beauty. When living things are exposed to the F laser beam long enough to become transparent, they die. Meanwhile, Dr. F, who told Alabaster the secret of the F laser beam, had previously used his daughter as a guinea pig to investigate its effects. The daughter, who was pregnant at the time, gave birth to a girl. The girl, who was named Ami, is completely invisible. Alabaster approaches Ami and begins to use her for his dark purposes.

James Block2 fan favoritesExternal profileA county boy from Wisconsin, James Block won 6 gold metals in the '72 Olympics at Munich. Even as a collage student, he gained many national championship titles. After his winnings in the Olympics, he meets Susan Ross and became deeply smitten with her. The two dated for a year and James asked her to marry him. Susan laughs, telling him to look at himself (referring to James's ethnicity as well as Susan's vanity of her own beauty) and continues to explain that she only dated him due to his popularity as an Olympic star. James goes into a fit of rage and attacks her. Though while perusing her, he steals a car and continues chasing her in a blind rage. He soon realizes he ran over a pedestrian in his pursuit. He is arrested and sentenced to jail for five years, during which his hatred towards Susan grows and people like her. (Source: Osamu Tezuka Wikia) No voice actors have been added to this character.
