042 Yellow Horse

This guy has the goods on the bad guys, & he is an undercover cop.



















This is one of several in which Atom goes undercover disguised as a human, & one of 2 In the 60s in which he wears a fake skin:





"You must act like it hurts when I hit you, or they'll know youre a robot."

By using the Yellow Horse, addicts dance wildly. I have a few pics of Atom injecting himself, but I am reluctant to post them.

Yellow Horse is a mind-altering drug that causes its users to dance wildly.

Here is what the Tezuka World site says about the manga version of the story:

A drug called "Yellow Horse" suddenly prevails around the world. At a request of the police, Astro Boy disguises himself as a human boy to sneak into the hideout of Maboroshi Club, a smuggling ring. Thanks to the information sent by Astro Boy via radio contact with the police, the members of the smuggling ring get arrested one after another. However, the leader, who is the most wanted, cannot be caught easily. As it turns out, the leader has his base in a satellite floating in space. Astro Boy is quick to venture into the satellite, where he finds Dr. Ochanomizu has been captured and injected with Yellow Horse and that he is now addicted to the drug.

And while poor addicts suffer the consequence of a wrong way of having fun, Astro...



... Stares at them with a smile! I've just seen the fall of a hero.



PS: Rumours about Maboroshi being my real surname are false, I swear... Can anyone go to the Poclice Station and help me? Tawashi is obliging me to hear all Barry Manilow's records... in slow mode!

The Wild World of Batwoman also features a drug that makes people dance wildly.

Atom in disguise


This is the 'front' of the drug distribution center.


The evil pharmacist

& the two frames I am hesitant to post:

Atom injecting himself with the drug!




This one also seems a bit extreme.






note the resemblance between Atom's skeleton & the LEGO MINIFIG skeleton.
