I just recieved #23 (in fact two copies! once again, I have ordered the same thing from two different sources #$&*!
. So anyway Here is Atom Vs. Atlas a short story, in which bad ol' Count Giss has just created a little robot that has Atom's 7 powers, plus an eighth power. It is a very unconventional weapon!
This one seems full of 80s short stories, the kids are shorter than in earlier manga, almost identical to the 80s anime. Atom has a laser in his finger, which I am certain he did not have in the 50s or 60s manga or 60s anime.
Energy cassetes have replaced fuelling via backside (pg 78).
There was another story that was in the 80s anime, the Robot Vikings.
One scene has Atom wearing his head, but not hair (pg 134).
