Astro's Hip Guns - 1960's

[Tetsuwan Penguin]

This one is from the Locomotive March.

[Tetsuwan Penguin]

These two are from "the mighty microbe army"


and this one is from "the blue knight"

I love how Astro goes into contortions to aim those fanny guns!

Actually Atom did not have heinie guns until COUNT BAT. I have 6/7 sets of original manga reprints, & Ochanomizu put those machine guns in Atom's bottom. Along with those, he gave 2 more features, one of which I have never seen since, & the other is Atom's most desired ability, though not numbered among the seven.

So are you going to keep this info to yourself? What did Ochanomizu give Atom?

I remember seeing that someone before. I also remember Atom being able to cause a flood by crying in one of the stories. I guess Dark Horse had translated late reprints of the Manga, because there are a lot of early ones that show up here now and then that are of the same stories, but totally different!

Never seen those pages before, what edition did they come from?

[jeffbert]

Reprints of the original version.
