List of Astro Boy chapters
This is a list of Astro Boy chapters.
Overview
The Mighty Atom manga (more commonly known as Astro Boy in the West), was first created from 1951 to 1968 on Shōnen Magazine (chapters 001/075). From January 1967 to January 1969, it was published in the Sankei newspaper (chapters 076/93). After its run in Sankei, Astro Boy appeared in various magazines as one-shot chapters (chapters 094/100). The last chapters were serialized in Second Grader magazine, starting in September 1980 and concluding in December 1981 (chapters 101/115).
The first chapter drawn was "Ambassador Atom" and the last chapter "Showdown on Mt. Fuji". The total number of chapters is 115. The anime also featured some unique chapters separate from the manga.
Between 2002 and 2004, Dark Horse Comics released a comprehensive 23-volume set entitled Osamu Tezuka's Original Astro Boy, based on the 1999 Japanese language Akita Shoten collection. This presented the stories in Tezuka’s preferred order rather than in strict chronological order.
