010 The Fool Ivan

[jeffbert]

English number & title: 11, Strange Voyage


A jewel thief is attempting to flee the country, but needs a new identity first:



"Would you please look after my little girl, she is afraid to go by herself."


Just what he needs to complete his stolen identity, a kid. Now nobody would suspect him.

The ship is struck by a meteor when its shields fail, etc, & everyone scrambles for the escape ships:





Of course, she must dress properly for this occasion.


& he must grab his stocks or are they insurance policies?

It's interesting that although the circumstances seem to be very different, there is a shot similar to the first picture in the 1980 series as well.

Thanks for all those pictures, jeffbert.

So, having discovered the atmosphere, they venture forth, and the little girl is scared to death upon meeting Ivan.






Does he restart her heart, or was she a robot needing energy?

[jeffbert]

Poor Lt. Minya, she died on the moon. But her daughter never forgot her, & lest anybody defile her resting place, she had her scientist Junkovitch create the Hot Dog Corps (manga volume 1, p. 93-94), to prevent anyone from going to the moon. Check out my thread for 032 Hot Dog Corps (-- --)






Aww, ain't that cute?

[jeffbert]

All are searching for the diamonds, but one would find something more important.


Even jewel thieves are capable of doing good things; for, while the others were content to leave Atom where he ran out of energy, this guy was not.







Note that this was remade as # 142 Minya's Star.
