![]() ![]() ![]() Here, in "Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka," we get the artist of "Pineapple Army" - probably more famous to American audiences for his medical thriller "Monster" - taking one of the most famous "Astro Boy" stories and retelling it in a way only Naoki Urasawa could. And I certainly read it long before I ever read a single page of Osamy Tezuka's "Astro Boy" (a series I was vaguely aware of for decades, but one that I never bothered to read until less than two years ago). It obviously wasn't the first manga to penetrate the American direct market, but it was one of the first I had ever seen on the shelves of my local comic shop. ![]() One of the first manga series I ever saw was "Pineapple Army," published in flipped floopy format by Viz back in the late 1980s. ![]()
