List of Astro Boy chapters

This is a list of chapters of Astro Boy, also known as Mighty Atom (Japanese: ), a classic Japanese manga series first created by Osamu Tezuka in 1951. The first English translation of the Astro Boy series was published in the United States by Dark Horse Comics in 2002. It was based on the most definitive collection of the series published by Akita Shoten in Japan.

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.
