| Astro Boy Vol 4 / Osamu Tesuka : 3 of 5 | |

 Another great Astro book with a prominent theme I'm beginning to expect: robots are people, too. There are three cool stories in this volume, starting with a Westworld-ish theme park, which is really an evil cover-up, of course (never trust a robot named Satan!). Next up is an adventure on the moon (written before man had been there, so there's some fun vegetation and scenery, not to mention diamonds). The best story is about a boy who has disappeared in a home-made time machine, and Astro takes the boy's place in a nice Japanese holiday to remember the dead (where robots are built to mimic those gone for three days). Astro figures everything out eventually, and after fighting off some gangsters, the family is reunited in a happy moment. It's inventive and touching stories like this one that sets Astro apart from other manga!
