Issue Description

Fifty years after his creation, Astro Boy continues to lead the manga and anime charge, his adventures still as fresh and exciting as when first crafted by master storyteller/cartoonist/animator Osamu Tezuka. Perhaps the most endearing, and enduring, creation to emerge from Tezuka's volcanic imagination, Astro Boy is packed with action, laughs, and genuine emotion, interlacing fantastic situations and creatures with timeless themes and wry observances of technology, war, and the human condition. In this volume: "The White Hot Human"; "Uran"; "Hachi, the Devil"; "The Tenma Family's Fortress"; "Gernica".

Volume Description

This was the first ever English-language version of Astro Boy. The stories are adapted from the original Japanese version but with the artwork flipped so it read from left to right for the Western readers. It was Frederik L. Schodt who translated the stories into English and it was Schodt who came up with the English name for Astro Boy.
