A review by wolson
Astro Boy, Vol. 1 by Osamu Tezuka

3.0

From the “Father of Manga” these are mainly early 1960’s Manga (at least their Japanese published dates) though they didn’t make it to the USA til decades later. I am not a big comic reader so this is new to me, but I like the Astro Boy stories and what the author’s thoughts toward robots and about human beings in general are. If he were alive I would like to ask him if some of the ideas were in response to worldwide events at the time, including US civil rights unrest. Pleasant diversion from the usual stuff.
