Dark Horse Comics brings the original Astro Boy
to America for the first time in an English-
language edition!

Taking his second century by storm, Astro Boy remains the robot
of choice for legions of readers worldwide, his adventures as
exciting and entertaining today as when first crafted by master
cartoonist and animator Osamu Tezuka in 1952. An unforgettable
blend of breakneck action, slapstick humor, and wry social
commentary, Astro Boy stands in the pantheon of graphic fiction,
an all-ages masterpiece of storytelling and imagination. In this
volume: Astro must stop the completion of a deadly robot built
from Alien blueprints; Astro's sister, Uran, enters a dangerous
tournament of battling robots; and Astro must foil the plot of the
mad leader of a hidden empire to unleash poisonous artificial bees
around the globe!
