MIGHTY ATOM CLUB--the covers
Posted: Fri Dec 21, 2012 3:31 am
Hello boys and girls! I thought it would be a blast to show, one and all, the covers to the magazine, "Mighty Atom Club"! As some of you may know at the height of the original series run in Japan, a magazine was started by Mushi Prod. to highlight our hero, Astro Boy for the Japanese audience. Starting in August of 1964 and therefore for in almost every month until Nov., 1966, the Mighty Atom Club magazine featured a Mighty Atom manga story. While the covers had nothing to do with the story inside, they were still beautiful, eye-catching color covers. Here are the first two: Aug. & Sept., 1964. The stories featured in these two issue were: "The Bad-Guy Robots" (8/64 reprinted and translated in Dark Horses' "Osamu Tezuka's Original Astro Boy" vol. #22, Story #9) and "The Lying Robot" (MAC--9/64, reprinted in "Astro Boy vol. #13, Story# 3)
