2003 Astroboy manga - English-ified and online (kinda)

[The Tawashi Bus Hat]

[QUOTE=The Tawashi Bus Hat;100626]On a side note, I have purchases all 20 issues of the Astro Boy NOW! comics and they should come in next week (from New York! ) And yes, I will be scanning them all and posting them online.

Thanks for pointing out that typo.

I LIKE!

But here's the thing -- and it seems to be this 2003 visualization of him that brings the thought to mind . . . Tenma looks considerably like....(sorry!)

Howard Stern

I know, I know -- but REALLY -- take a look -- that long, gaunt face, curly hair and long pointy nose -- it's the "King of all Media!"

Mind you -- Stern is not someone I think about very often, but that cover art from volume 3 just makes me want to shout "Baa Baa BOOEY!"

In "Pluto" Tenma is the reincarnation of Abe Lincoln. Guess he's got one of those faces...

BTW -- You're right T.B.H. -- Chapters 8-11 is heartbreaking stuff!!

Great! Mats with enthusiasm the third installment.
Thank you very much!

This guy's comic/manga pages looks incredibly awesome and epic. I wonder how he plans them out, I want some of that skill he has! I'm good but his epicness is over the top.

Actually, Akira Himekawa is a team of two women. :3 And yes, their skill in manga is fantastic. Probably why they keep doing all the Zelda adaptations.

@ AprilSeven - Howard Stern? Really?

.....Huh...I kinda see it...

(He scared me a little in Pluto...*shivers*)

Um, do you have any other way to see them besides downloading? Because, #1, I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to open any kind of ZIP file, or download stuff, without permission, and, #2, I fear that something of that immense size, if downloaded, would kill this bucket of a computer, anyway. (And I'm just talking about one!)

Well, the link to volume one is no longer active on this thread, as I have scanned the English volume and replaced the file. (Is now available on my blog.)

As of right now, I have no means as to make them viewable online, as I do not know of any website that I could use to post them that would not make me susceptible to le ban-hammar of death. (And photobucket is just plain tedious)

If it's about permission, I guarantee that the files are virus-free. But, my mom was the same way with the whole "oh noes if it's from the internet it must be evil oh noes" thing. If you know of a site that I can post these up to be viewable by everyone (and be somewhat descreet at the same time, herherher...), I'd certainly consider posting them there.

Nintendo does? DO NOT TELL THEM ABOUT ME- OK- appreciate that Tawashi- of course you are too nice to do tell them about me

Awesome, u have any inside info on how they produce their stuff and layouts. I recently drew some pages in which I took some layout inspiration from their astro boy manga and I got some positive incite and comments.

I wish I knew more about them. >.< They don't do a lot of 'artist's-notes' section in their manga (unlike the mangaka of Furuba...man, she doesn't know how to shut-up xD ), and the Astro Boy series is actually one of the few I've read by them that actually had any notes by them in it...

They're kinda like ninjas. o_o Artistically skilled ninjas...
