Dr. Osamu Tezuka has written 242 Black Jack stories in total. Details of these 242 stories were listed in the table below. The table contains information of their initial published date, their English and Japanese name and where they can be found.

On 19th November 1973, the first Black Jack story "I need a doctor!" was published in Japan Shonen Champion Magazine. After that, except for some occasions Dr. Tezuka took a break for one or two weeks, Black Jack was published continuously on this magazine until 18th September 1978. The story published on that date is called "Call It Life". Originally, Dr. Tezuka wanted to stop his work on Black Jack at this point. However, may be due to feeling dispirit, Dr. Tezuka created another 13 stories and published on Shonen Champion Magazine occasionally until 14th October 1983.

During that time, normally a Black Jack story was published in each issue of Shonen Champion Magazine. Some longer stories were separated and published in two or more concessive issues. These information can be found on the listing below.

During the period of concessive publishing, Dr. Tezuka assigned a number to each story. The story published on 19th November 1993 was numbered as story 1. And the story "Call It Life", published on 18th September 1978, was numbered as story 229. For those 13 additional stories, Dr. Tezuka did not assign any numbers to them. However, for convenience, they were assigned a number later, which became stories 230 to 242.

Just one more thing need to emphasize, on 10th March 1976, Shonen Champion published an additional issue. This issue republished 9 old Black Jack stories and a newly written story "U-18 Knew It!". But this story was not assigned with any number. The story before it is number 113 "Another Jack" and the story next to it is number 114 "The Girl Cartoonist". Also, story 179 "Scalpel" and story 180 "Woman Doctor Falls in Love with Black Jack" are concessive stories. They were combined into one story when republished in Shonen Champion Comics later. Therefore, the overall number of stories remained as 242.

Most of these 242 stories were republished and can be found in any of the 3 sets of Black Jack comics: "Shonen Champion Comics" set, "Tezuka Osamu Manga Complete Works" set and "Akita Bunko Library Book" set. But some stories, because of their sensitive contents, were missing from some of them. And 5 stories, because of their over sensitive contents, were not republished in any of these set and were considered as "Sealed Works". What a pity!

Finally, just one more thing I need to mention. After the publishing of story 242 "A Question of Priorities", the production of Black Jack terminated. However, Dr. Tezuka arranged Black Jack to appear three more times afterwards. These all happened in the comic "Midnight", a work produced in the final years of Dr. Tezuka. In these 3 stories, Black Jack was also acting as an unlicensed genuine surgeons. His name was also called Black Jack. Apart from these, he also acted as a critical character in these stories and appeared in many panels. If you have read the story of Black Jack, you will agree that even though Black Jack is the main character in his series, he sometimes only appears in just a few panels. But some secondary characters, especially Pinoko, appear in most of the panels instead. So, some Japanese Black Jack fans even assigned numbers to these 3 stories, calling them number 243, 244 and 245. In order to show full support on Kuro Hazama, "Home of Kuro Hazama" has decided to accept these stories as in the Black Jack series and listed out here.
