Astro Boy Volume 19 TPB

Dark Horse Comics brings the original Astro Boy to America for the first time in an English-language edition! Fifty years old and still rockin', Astro Boy proudly wears the championship belt of all-ages robot action, still leading the manga and anime charge begun by master storyteller/cartoonist/animator Osamu Tezuka, the acknowledged creative and spiritual linchpin of Japan's leading entertainment media exports. Perhaps the most endearing, and enduring, creation to emerge from Tezuka's bottomless creative wellspring, Astro Boy is packed with action, humor, and pathos, interlacing flights of the fantastic with timeless themes and wry commentary on humanity in a rapidly changing technological landscape. Translation by Frederik L. Schodt , author of Manga! Manga! The World of Japanese Comics and translator of Ghost in the Shell . "Dark Horse is doing manga fans a great service by making this series, the most famous work by Japan's most famous master of comics art, available in the United States."......
