Here is a different take on the SOLAR SPHERE story:
Note Afill, at top right; directly beneath him is one of the physicians from the B&W BLACK LUX stories. Note that there are two versions, & he appears in only 1. On the bottom row in the middle is a guy whose unique mustache makes him stand out. I believe he appeared in one of Atom's manga stories.
"I never work with robots!"
"Go buy some clothes."
But Bond only used the clothier as a means of losing the pesky little robot.
"Is this familiar?"
I recall Natsu Onada Powers' book mentioning a large bell; but not what she said about it. BTW, it appears in other versions of this story.
Unlike Atom, Mars cannot fly uless he 1st strips; he needs his cape to transform into a wing. hmy:

"Astro Forever" wrote:Jeffbert, what is the proportion of Jetter Mars episodes which are this close to episodes of the 1980 Astro Boy series?
Offhand, I can say no fewer than three were fairly well represented.
This one, The one about the Pluto-like robot, there is one about a space vampire, & one with Garon. Bem plays Dolly in another, which has nothing to do with any super bomb-- I need to look at my notes to be sure, but there are plot elements in a few that otherwise would be unrelated. 2 Robot Smuggling Gang seems to have lent some plot elements to TOMBOY URAN.
Continuing the story,
Mars goes after the freezing sphere:
"Now, I shall play 'Those Endearing young charms."
For those unfamiliar with this tune, it is the one that Yosemite Sam challenged Bugs Bunny to play, having attached a bomb to the piano that would explode if the thing were played correctly.
Is that Thumper?
