& now, for the story itself:
This is the animated version of "The Melanin Tribe" (Darkhorse vol. 20), "The Melanin Family" TOW. The story takes place after The Blue Kinght & "Astro Boy Reborn" (both in Darkhorse vol. 19). As Dr. Tenma had repaired Atom on condition that his robot family be scrapped, & made him with anti-human attitudes, & no memories, he defied Tenma & decided to do as he pleased. Learning that he had a family Atom liberated them, and being scolded by papa, took Uranium & ran away from home.
He went to africa, & now we continue in pictures:

Indeed, since at the very least Japan should have seen it. But then... hmmm, I don't know what that could be. All the countries Astro went to? Hmmmm, not sure that makes more sense either.

Thanks! Yay, I learned something new today!

And I'm not living in the water either!

This one was first shown October 22, 1966; as it is 185/193, it is near the series end. #1 ran January 1, 1963, so this is over 3 1/2 years later. Neither Australia nor Britain are dark. Hmm, irate: makes one wonder.
