April 7, 2003: the day our favorite robot boy was born.

Perhaps it's a little early to post this for most of the world, but in Japan, it is now April 7. Atom is now 13 years old.

Also, a not-as-well known fact: [url=http://www.astroboy-online.com/archives.php]Astro Boy Online, as well as Astro Boy Online Forums, was opened to the public a day earlier on April 6, 2003![/url]

Use this thread to wish Atom a happy birthday, or head over to the [url=http://www.astroboy-online.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9597]Tetsuwan April Challenge thread[/url] to post some sort of tribute to him!

Here's a couple historical images with him and Superman, as well as other Tezuka characters dressed up as superheroes:

I wrote a story inspired by those images:

And that image of Astro with the "S" on his chest is flipped left to right.

Woohoo! Atom is now the same age as me Can't believe I'm technically older than him by a few months.

Does that mean my pictures of him aged are technically right? XD

I plan to resize this a little later but until then, here's my tribute to this special day

The characters in the lower sketch are as follows; Dr. Tezuka himself, Minky Momo, Mr. Mustache, Black Jack, his aide Pinoko, and Tezuka's mushroom friend.

You left out Rock Holmes, Kimba, and Princess Knight. Tezuka drew himself as a flasher!
