Astro Boy (NOW Comics)

The Original Astro Boy is a twenty-issue 1980s comic book series (with one Astro Boy short story in Speed Racer #17) by NOW Comics, based on the original Japanese Astro Boy series by Osamu Tezuka. The series was based mostly on the 1960s Astro Boy anime series, but begun to include elements from the 1980s series in later issues. The comic went through three writers and artists, and embellished the original plotline, despite only covering the first episode of the 1960s series.
