Astro Boy, Volume 6

Standing shoulder to shoulder with comics and animation icons Krazy Kat, Mickey Mouse, and Tin Tin, Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy remains as fresh today as when the boy robot first appeared nearly fifty years ago. The cornerstone of Japan's exploding animation and comics industry, Tezuka's original Astro Boy manga are now finally available in America in an English-language edition, produced in collaboration with Studio Proteus and translated by Frederik L. Schodt, well known to manga readers for his work on Ghost in the Shell. Whether freeing abused robots from evil masters or facing the challenge of alien invaders, Astro Boy is nonstop excitement and fun, filled with warmth, humor, and humanity.
