While poking around my local comic shop yesterday, I ran across this:


This Astro Boy collection from Dark Horse is the size and shape of a conventional paperback novel (I originally thought it might be a book tie-in for the upcoming Astro Boy movie), but it's actually a compilation of the first two complete volumes of Osamu Tezuka's classic manga. The small pages probably aren't the best vehicle for the art, but Tezuka's style still comes across, and--at $15--it's much cheaper than buying the individual options.
