I love Astro boy and through all his books the themes and lessons are so well framed in the cartoonish manor while still wholly taking the lessons in hand. The thoughts on modern and future technology is always a treat too (

When I lived in Japan I loved this character just from seeing him on t-shirts and bags etc. I watched some of the dubbed cartoons (and the not very good CGI film more recently) but this is the first time I really read any of the comics. They are quite sweet and naive in the main, with Astro Boy (I still think of him as Mighty Atom) an idealistic boy robot who wants everyone to be happy. Enjoyable read. (

I love Astro Boy. This book does feel a little dated but that not a big deal. The point is the spirit of the stories. They present to the reader a character who might always wins but he always tries. That spirit is summed up in a single phrase that go, go, go Astro Boy. (
