• The eponymous character is an android child, spurned by his creator, who fights evildoers and android-haters, and seeks personal acceptance. The character is a Manga icon and one of the first Japanese comic characters to achieve recognition outside of Japan. Though a staple of children's entertainment for half a century, Astro Boy bears weightier themes than most of its American counterparts, including exploitation, parental rejection and even racism.
