Could Dr. Elefun been at Woodstock? Tenma, an aging boomer?

Elefun: Don't worry, my boy, it's a reunion -- I'll be back on Monday.....Thursday at the latest!

Astro: .....

I was first tempted to give him a joint but I resisted but that is awesome!

Hope this didn't tip the scale, but he needed the goatee.

I know they are in Chinese, but here is a shot of young Ochanomizu from the manga (Volume 6, pg 83, for those playing at home):



While we are at it, how about a look at Shunsaku Ban during the early years?



Priceless.

Perfection! I didn't want to cover the love beads -- but he needed that goatee. It's a spectacular creation. Maybe we should start an Astro Boy Online Art Museum. This baby deserves a spot!

Can't wait to get into work and PRINT IT OUT for my bulletin board collection! Thanks, LLM!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this! I don't know how long it will be until I have my own Dark Horse collection (but OH YES I will have one!) -- so this is fabulous to have a peek! Now, is that Astro Boy or Astor Boynton(Tobio)? Looks like he's got real hair?

I'm still not connecting the dots with all the Japanese names -- what character is Shansaku Ban also known as -- ? Pompous? I see Dr. E is "losing it" on top here...

CHECK OUT THE FLAT SCREEN TV

It's Astro, but he has to wear a wig so people won't know he's a robot. (There's actually a part where someone grabs his arm and thinks they are prosthetic, so you see the problem he has...)

Shunsaku Ban is Daddy Walrus. :3 That's his real name in the Japanese version. (He looks different without the mustache, eh?)

Yeah, didn't see that many flat screen TVs in the 1990's...(where the comic takes place).

hi- thanks love to be just as smart as Dr. Elefun BUT CUTE as Uran

[AprilSeven]

Hi Avatargirl - I bet Uran becomes as smart (or smarter) then Dr. Elefun. They always talk about Astro and Uran's physical strength - but they've also got super intellect in order to be so human.

And I really like Houdini, too
