Last Week, IDW Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall posted a preview of the upcoming Astro Boy comic based on the CG Animated movie set for release this fall from Imagi. Take an early look at the incredible, Tezuka-inspired artwork of E.J. Su in these two black and white pages!

Excellent job by E.J. Su. I was a bit worried about how this might look but I am seriuosuly impressed. And just think, once this is done it will be in colour. As far as I know that makes then the first colour Astro comics.
IDW is also planning to release a prequel comic to Astro Boy. Here are the details on the first issue:
ASTRO BOY MOVIE PREQUEL: UNDERGROUND #1
Written by Scott Tipton, art by Diego Jourdan, covers by Jourdan and Ashley Wood.
He's back! Astro Boy makes his return to comics, paving the way for his exciting feature film debut later this year! It's an all-new Astro Boy adventure, with Astro exploring a strange subterranean kingdom in search of his lost father, encountering weird creatures large and small. But are they friend or foe?
32 pages, $3.99
Ships out in May 2009

Actually, there was a North American-produced Astro Boy comic series several years ago that was in color. I don't know much about it right now but I hope to write about it here at some point.
Sayonara.
