I scanned one on the American NOW! comics from the 80s. It's on my FTP in the pics/comic/ directory.

Did anyone ever read or own any Astroboy comic books?
And if they're still being sold, where can I get them from (i'm in sydney)?

In the 60's, I recall a one-shot Astro Boy comic book from...Gold Key? Dell Comics? One of those 2 companies did one...I think it was Gold Key. Anyhow, the first half of this comic book was an adaption/re-drawing of the "Gangor" episode (a "Robot Wrestling Team" that joins together to form a centipede-like robot called "Gangor").

The 2nd part was an original story where Astro Boy fought the "Terrible Twins", twin evil scientists that had a machine that created automatons out of dirt (yep, you heard that right!

As someone else pointed out, there was an 80's version put out by Now Comics. To tell you the truth, I liked that one-shot 60's Gold Key comic a lot better.

Thank goodness we have the Dark Horse translated mangas...I would've killed for these when I was a kid!

Later folks!

Yeah, I'd go as far to say that the Now comics are not manga.

I bought all of the Astro Boy Now comics on E-Bay. I bought individuals and I also have the entire set in a big comic sleeve.
