So, I was surfing the net today looking for a new scanner when I just so happened to search for Astro Boy and...

...OH LAWDY! I found a blog that has complete scans of the Astro Boy 1960's Gold Key comics!

Gangor the Monster-
Pt. 1 - http://magiccarpetburn.blogspot.com/2009/03/gold-key-astro-boy-1-gangor-monster-pt.html
Pt. 2 - http://magiccarpetburn.blogspot.com/2009/03/gold-key-astro-boy-1-gangor-monster-pt_22.html

Attack of the Mud People-
Pt. 1 - http://magiccarpetburn.blogspot.com/2009/03/gold-key-astro-boy-1-attack-of-mud.html
Pt. 2 - http://magiccarpetburn.blogspot.com/2009/03/gold-key-astro-boy-1-attack-of-mud_24.html

Just click the pictures in the posts to view them full-size (which is quite large, lol).

Just thought you would enjoy some nice retro reads. :heart:

EDIT: Holy crap - I just searched this thing on ebay! It ranges anywhere from $100-$1300! WOAH!

Yeah, but they kinda got that pop-art feel to them. Like a little piece of history. :D

Finally, someone put up complete scans! :lol: I've always wanted to read the whole thing, but I always found the NOW! Comics one more entertaining, and I definitely can't pay $350 for one comic.

That Gangor story is totally based on one from the manga, and the bald guy was in it too, but he was a teenager in the manga.

Yeah, these babies run a bit pricey. :d oh:

I thought that one seemed familiar. (Although based on the subject matter of the second one, I can comfortably say that Attack Of the Mud People is not from the manga. xD)
