opheliapo's review
5.0
How could I give a creation of this vastness and notoriety any lower than a five star rating? Not only did I find the story-telling captivating, and the art harmonious and charming (of course, for Astro Boy is literally Japan's version of Mickey Mouse), but I also saw in these pages snippets of some of the comic book world's most utilised tropes, which I now know originated from these very pages, and the diligent mind of Osamu Tezuka.
I also appreciate the effort Dark Horse put into accurately and carefully curating these strips. I feel, after reading this graphic novel, that I not only have a better knowledge of the story itself, but of the history and narrative that surrounds it.
