PLUTO: URASAWA X TEZUKA, VOL. 1
Written and Drawn by NAOKI URASAWA
Adapted from “The Greatest Robot on Earth” by OSAMU TEZUKA

Astro Boy is one of the most celebrated fictional characters in Japanese culture. I’m sure the task of reimagining his most memorable tale, “The Greatest Robot on Earth,” wasn’t easy. Fortunately for all of us, Naoki Urasawa is more than up to the task. His interpretation of the events as a murder mystery not only make it wholly its own brilliant story, but inspire an entire generation of new fans to seek out the original work of Astro Boy creator, Osamu Tezuka. I couldn’t have chosen a better manga to be my first, and once you read this book, you’ll be just as hooked.
