Pluto osamu tezuka7/4/2023 And it’s some amazing heart-racing fun, even with a few moments of gore thrown in. Gesicht himself is a robot who appears completely human (he has a wife, plans long-needed vacations, gets tired), but his left hand turns into a hypno-gas gun on command! As the murder count builds, he learns from imprisoned, partially disassembled Brau 1589 that seven robots are on the target list … and according to the evil junk heap, nothing is going to save them from utter destruction.Īstro Boy himself, by the way, doesn’t make his debut until the final pages. When Mont Blanc, beloved robot protector of the forests, is butchered, Europol superdetective Gesicht (which means “face” in German – as in can’t tell a being by just the face?) is called to investigate. That is, until someone – or something – starts brutally murdering the world’s most powerful robots. The introductory volume begins in a brave new world where humans and robots peacefully co-exist. Urasawa, himself a renowned contemporary manga artist, re-envisions Astro Boy with his own dark twists. Since then, somewhere, somehow, Astro Boy is always playing on some screen. The adorable robot boy became a worldwide phenomenon, thanks to his animated incarnation that began in 1963. Osamu Tezuka, the godfather of manga, introduced his beloved Tetsuwan Atom – better known in the West as Astro Boy – way back in 1951.
