Product Description: From the boundless imagination of Osamu Tezuka, arguably history's most important - and inarguably its most prolific - creator of graphic fiction, comes Astro Boy, the singular archetype for the exploding anime and manga industries. A timeless all-ages masterpiece of action, fun, and humanity - and plenty of robots! - Astro Boy packs more excitement and entertainment into each value-priced volume than most comics do in a year!
A Must for Pre-Teen Boys (#17) Q: Do you have a male preteen, who likes Pokemon, Yugioh, cartoons, owns at least two game systems (handhelds count) and knows what anime is?
A: Yes.
Stop here and buy the series. Don't ask why, or is it valuable, beneficial or even engage in the debate about the academic merits of comic books, or graphic novels. I could tell you it is a Japanese classic, on par with Superman, that it may be a collectors item in the future or it is an engaging series with complex subplots for this age group.
That doesn't matter.
You only need to know that if you buy it:
1. He is reading 2. He is reading 3. He is not playing a video game 4. He is reading 5. He is not arguing or fighting with a sibling 6. He is not watching TV like a mindless drone 7. He is reading 8. He will want to read other graphic novels.
