MIGHTY ATOM PROLOGUE (booK)

So, along with the JM book I bought the other day, I also got this. It is mostly manga, but also has about 10 pages of text, I translated the firt section, which described the ATOM'S BIRTH comic, which preceded it. This version was drawn for SUN COMICS, & among other things, it notes the different design of Tobio's car. The new one being more modern and resembling an adult-sized car.
Most of the stories are covered in just two or three select pages. For instance, GASEOUS MEN starts on page 34, while RED CAT starts on page 36. ATOM'S BIRTH runs 24 pages. At the end, both of Atom's BJ roles are covered in their entirety.
Removing the cover thingy, in English, is written, THE SECRET HISTORY OF ASTRO BOY & in very light color, OSAMU TEZUKA; barely even visible.
Tezuka himself appears in many of these pages, apparently explaining things.
