A word on Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy

Astro Boy

We're happy that Astro Boy, one of the most famous Japanese characters of all time, calls Dark Horse home. As a publisher devoted to great comics and great comics creators from around the world, Dark Horse has always looked with special admiration to Japan, where Osamu Tezuka, the founding figure in modern manga, helped to create the largest and most diverse comics culture on Earth. 

To receive artistic acclaim for a comic is one achievement—but to give an entire nation a love for reading comics is on another level entirely. Astro Boy, Osamu Tezuka's best-known creation, and most-read in Japan, symbolizes this achievement more than any other of his hundreds of works. How can Dark Horse not be proud to publish Astro Boy?
