The manga was originally published from 1952 to 1968, followed by a
newspaper serialization (1967-1969) and two further series in
1972-1973 and 1980-1981. The original Mighty Atom manga stories were
later published in English-language versions by Dark Horse Comics in a
translation by Frederik L. Schodt. They followed the television series
by keeping the character name as "Astro Boy", the name most familiar
to English-speaking audiences, instead of "Mighty Atom." Names of the
other characters, such as Doctor Tenma and Professor Ochanomizu, are
those of the original Japanese. Astro Boy (along with some of his
supporting characters) appear in a series of "edu-manga" that tell
biographies of famous personalities such as Helen Keller, Albert
Einstein and Mother Teresa. Astro Boy and his "sister" appear in
prologues and epilogues for each story and learn about the famous
person from Dr. Ochanomizu, who acts as narrator for each installment.
These manga were published by Kodansha, Ltd. from 2000 to 2002 with
English-language versions published by Digital Manga Publishing and
seeing print from 2003 to 2005.
