Yeah, the comics themselves seemed a bit too melodramatic and sappy aswell. Some of the covers look pretty nifty, Ken Steacy's coloring is really detailed. That makes me glad that I was outbid a few months ago, when 12 or so comics were offered via eBay. I find the manga very entertaining; but ...

also....is that an actual helmet they will be making....cuz that looks kind of dangerous with the spikes lol

I do not know if anyone will make it, but merely thought it would be a great idea.

I remember one scene from the 80s series where there was a shot of Astro's head as he was walking toward the "camera". He was looking from side to side, I think he was looking for Uran. Anyway, the spikes on his head were sliding all over the place, switching from side to side every time he tur...

http://www.kengyu.com/PICT/atmhead.jpg That is the best illustration for the new Astroboy kids bicycle helmet that I figured would be the next cool invention. :wahah: Here is an older thread that discusses this same topic, http://afk.sagamers.com/astroboy/astrohorns.jpg in which the good Doctor add...

I believe in all cases (manga, 3 anime series), she is Dr. Elefun's creation.
