I got the osama tezuka original Astroboy comic!

Postby Eileen sobora » 19 years ago

I got this comic today from a comic store that sells rare comics, it's in english and it is the comic Osama Tezuka drewed in the 50's. I was reading it and I laughed. I got volume 9 since I was told only to get one but there were more Volumes there. I love this comic, it was so hard to find. :d oh: If so does anyone have it as well in there colection? I can't wait to get other Volumes of this. :)

Uh... This information isn't new... ^^; Unless you really wanted to say you got the books... ^^;

There's 22 volumes. Dark Horse isn't going to translate anymore of this series.

Yea, even though they came out a few years ago, they are getting hard to find. I think the bookstores around me took them (and other similar manga such as Cyborg 009) off the shelves because they aren't as "hip" as most current manga series...

Yeah, that's right. When I first bought books 1, 2, and 3, they had pretty much ALL of the books there in stock. Almost a month later, I came back and they didn't have any. Note: This occurred in 2004. So I had to resort to going to various comic book stores (wherever my mom would take me without nagging.) some reasonably distanced in Ann Arbor, others as far away as Chicago or New York City (mom wouldn't let me buy in NYC though...) Which leads me to this problem; I haven't seen volume 13 anywhere in person. So then... I'm stuck at 12. I'd show my collection, but I'm betting that yours are much better (Even though mine's pretty good for a kid my age.) and have all of the books. Also my photobucket's not working right now. My dad tells me to order online, but then yet... Does he expect me to pull money out of the air and order it correctly? n_n

Okay then. Photobucket works now. Now let's see. My, I hope this isn't too off topic!

I can see my Speed Racer dvd's too. ^_^ (Ha) I'll post the rest in a different topic, okay?
Anyways, the books are there and if you count I think they are all present.

I have the set, it goes up to 23. I hope you enjoy it. :)

Astro McFly, it's weird seeing a picture of someone else's mangas that look like mine! I should take a photo of all my Astro stuff (when I can find the space!). I have several posters and a wall scroll, plus my (unfinished) Astroboy lego and a metal statue I just bought.

Haha, I read ALL of the 1950's series. They had them on display at my Enterprise Library. :D

Most of it I got over two birthdays, 2004 and 2005. My ramune bottles, geisha doll, a sake bottle (used to hold peacock feathers) and my maneki neko Kenichi are also pictured here. Oh, and part of my Japanese candy (and other things) wrappers.
The rest of my collection,

All I can say is, Comic #22 is oddly disgusting. It's really weird. :sick: I hope you don't read it. Or else, live it. :D
