Guernica
Professor Nutty Fruitcake, living alone in his secluded mountain observatory, has taken to a unique hobby: growing giant fruits and vegetables. When the novelty of giant watermelons and tangerines wears thin, the Professortakes to breeding giant animals - in particular, giant snails. Snails, he reasoned, always seemed such placid creatures. And so they were...until they grew to be giants! Exactly one million mammoth snails - count ‘em - one million spawned from the bed of eggs in Professor Fruitcake's oversized incubator! En masse, they crawled from their overcrowded mountaintop and surged toward the helpless cities below! Army, Navy, Marines - all were powerless to stop the onslaught. One boy, one little robot boy, armed with nothing more than a bag full of chemicals, finally succeeded where all others failed. The robot boy, of course, was Astro Boy. The bag of chemicals that stopped the fresh-water snails in their tracks was NaCI. Salt! Common table salt.

Silver Comet
It finally happened in the little mid-European land called Shangri-Lee. An absolute dictator rose to power. Rudolph Hatter (his enemies called him Mad Hatter) was ruthless. Like other madmen before him, he sought to rule the world. He trusted no one; needed to do everything himself; tried to be in all places at all times! To lead the army, while commanding the navy, while remaining behind to run things, Rudolph Hatter needed to be at least 3 men, if not more. And so he commanded his scientists to build a machine that would produce duplicate Hatters; a sort of Spirit Machine that could turn out carbon copies of the dictator, all endowed with his invincible spirit. Since Hatter’s own scientists were unequal to the task, Hatter's secret agents kidnapped Doctor Elefun and spirited him to Shangri-Lee. With Doctor Elefun gone, Astro Boy leaped onto the case. His assignment: rescue Doctor Elefun, smash the Spirit Machine, and do something about a bewildering array of Mad Hatters!

Gadem
In the year 2000, there were robots aplenty. Since human beings no longer worked, there was a wide assortment of robots, big and little, fat and thin, tall and short, to perform every conceivable menial task. But nowhere was there a robot like Gangor, the Monster. Created by the arch-criminal Patch, Gangor was actually a gang of robots - 47 robots rolled up in one! By day, these robots walked the streets as a group of helpful machines. By night, and under orders from Patch, they linked together, one behind the other, to form a seemingly endless chain - a mechanical centipede capable of executing the most monstrous crimes! For once it seemed that even Astro Boy himself might have met his match. In a thrilling battle at the bottom of the sea, Astro Boy challenges one of the most cunning monsters ever invented!

Astro Boy vs. Garon
The plan might have worked, had not a giant robot-lying in disassembled form-been discovered by Doctor Elefun and Astro Boy. Instructions for assembly were found upon the monster robot, instructions written in a code like none on Earth. Thanks to Astro Boy’s computer-like mind, the code was quickly deciphered. It proved to be a secret message issued to an Earthling posing as a friend of Humanity (when in reality he was an undercover agent for the invading forces!) Exposing the agent was only half the task. Astro Boy was forced to grapple with the assembled monster - a cosmic giant too formidable for even Astro Boy to tackle! In a brilliant stroke of logic, Astro Boy tricked the monster into reversing the Earth's specific gravity - a feat that sent the giant careening back into space and kept the planet free for humanity.

Gaseous Beings
When early American astronauts reported seeing "fireflies" in space, they posed a riddle that intrigued men of science for decades. In the year 2000, the intrepid Doctor Bolt - astronomer, adventurer, astronaut ~ decided to investigate on his own. Soon after entering orbit, he spotted the mysterious fireflies and attempted to capture some in a special chamber of his capsule. Suddenly, the chamber began to grow cloudy! Doctor Bolt's brain began to burn. The cosmic "fireflies" were not fireflies at all, but a horde of Mist Men hovering in space, awaiting just such an opportunity. Our atmosphere prevented them from entering directly, but when borne by a human host, they could come to Earth, invade men's minds, and so conquer the planet! Doctor Bolt returned to Earth a man possessed: soon after, important men from all walks of life found themselves possessed too and forced to perform evil acts that threatened public safety! All seemed doomed until a Mist Man attempted to seize control of Astro Boy. The Mist Man had never encountered a robot before, and so was unaware that Astro Boy’s mind was impervious to attack. Listening to the Mist Man within, Astro Boy soon learned the details of the plan for conquest. With the help of Doctor Elefun, the Institute of Science, and a specially designed vacuum cleaner, Astro Boy dispels the Mist Men and sends them back to outer space.

Satellite R-45
Space stations are nothing new in the year 2000. A number of them dot the Milky Way between here and Andromeda, like floating islands in the sky. One of the largest is Satellite R45, a way station for trans-galaxy flights. Ships from every part of the Milky Way moor at R-45’s massive Spaceports. Interplanetary travelers stay at ultra-modern hotels and exotic wares from all over the universe are sold in exclusive shops. When Astro Boy arrives one day, he discovers a pair of fumbling souvenir vendors hawking stolen wares! A bit of ingenious sleuthing reveals that the fumblers are actually tools of the Master Smuggler, Trickum, a local hotel owner who tries in vain to force the resignation of Cronipuss Good heart, President of Satellite R-45. If Trickum himself should become President, he could turn the satellite into an enormous trading-post for stolen goods. Here, Astro Boy's computer- like mind, rather than his great strength, saves the day... and R-45!

Sea Serpent Island
Sitting alone at the beach one day, watching wave after wave break on the lonely sand, Astro Boy spotted a mysterious bottle being washed ashore. The bottle proved to contain a note calling for help and rescue from a dreaded but unknown, uncharted island called Sea Serpent Isle. The note was signed ”Princess Papaya Petal." Doctor Elefun knew nothing of Sea Serpent Isle other than that many ocean liners in recent days had disappeared after reporting sightings of giant sea serpents. And these disappearances always occurred in the same region, although there were no islands in that particular part of the ocean. Astro Boy's investigations over and under the water revealed that there was indeed an island-not a natural one, but a man-made base that, like a submarine, could appear or disappear at will. Giant tentacles shaped like sea-serpents attacked ships at sea: pirated the ship’s cargo, then forced the passengers to work at hard labor upon the "island." Astro Boy himself was captured. Taken to the base "hospital,” he met Princess Papaya Petal...and devised a plan for escape. Prisoners were sent floating to safety within giant laboratory bottles while Astro Boy himself set out to stop the men and machines behind the threat of ”Sea Serpent Isle.”

Even gifted Doctor Elefun of the famed Institute of Science is at a loss until Astro Boy-quite by accident-discovers a strange species of horse-fly near the names of various victims. His hunch proves correct: the flies are mutants-deadly cousins of the common house fly, made poisonous by exposure to atomic radiation. But what Astro Boy himself failed to realise at first, was that the lethal little insects were actually being bred by a ruthless master criminal whose dreams of power would proceed unchecked, unless an enemy could be found who was immune to the bite of the flies. Astro Boy becomes that enemy. To wipe out the breeding ground ofthe flies, Astro Boy must battle a formidable array of robot guards.

There was laughter when a strange-looking, almost sinister robot swathed in a trenchcoat confronted Astro Boy and Doctor Elefun, demanding that they accompany him to an unknown kingdom at the bottom of the sea. Intrigued by the prospect of it, Doctor Elefun persuades Astro Boy into joining him and the robot. Soon they are hurtling in a peculiar ship straight toward the bottom of the ocean where lo and behold- a magnificent city of the future rises, splendid and shining beneath a great glass dome! The visitors from Earth are dumbfounded, until they realise the purpose of the visit. The city is inhabited entirely by robots - robots who believe they created themselves; who believe that they are perfect and are dedicated to wiping out the animalistic human beings that people the continents above! Why have they brought Astro Boy here? To show him that he was created to be nothing more than a tool for his selfish masters; to convince him that he should join their great crusade to destroy the menace of humanity! Astro Boy's attempts to reason with the robots prove futile! At last he proposes a contest; a personal contest between him, the pinnacle of human art and science, and the greatest robot his self-made adversaries have to offer. It's agreed. Several tests for intelligence and creativity are staged. When Astro Boy wins each one, his powerful opponent seeks to destroy him until the bottom dweller learns that he was created not by robots, but by a man, and that he is really a robot bomb!

Planet Pearl
Time after time, mysterious forces destroy the huge underwater dam being built by the Institute of Science. Why should anyone wish to destroy it? How do these forces create the irresistible whirlpool that no dam in the world could withstand? Astro Boy's underwater investigation unearths a surprise; the whirlpool is created by an enormous bed of oysters! Not Earth-bound oysters, but oysters that traveled here from a doomed planet. Trouble at home meant destruction of that planet; and so the oysters - actually a kind of flying saucer operated by tiny Pearl Men who lived Within - had migrated to our waters, closest to their Own. All they wanted to do was rest on the ocean bottom until they could return to their own planet, but the constant construction noise from the dam site kept them awake. And so every time the noise became too great, the Pearl People agitated the water into a Whirlpool. Astro Boy learns the simple explanation too late to stop the barrage of Starfish Depth Charges from above. All his persuasive skill and unabridged strength are required to abort the attack and launch the Pearl People safely on their long voyage home.

Mad Machine
Professor I. Q. Plenty startled a group of greedy plant owners by announcing that he had perfected the very thing they were seeking: a Robot Wacky Inducer - a machine that could actually make troublesome robots wacky and, therefore, harmless.

Next, the Professor went to Doctor Elefun and offered to withdraw his machine, a device that could affect every robot in the city including Astro Boy! - for a mere 80 million dollars! Doctor Elefun refused to be intimidated and Professor Plenty made good his threat. He turned on the Wacky lnducer and every robot within a 100 mile radius was rendered feeble. But not Astro Boy, for at the boy’s own request he was dismantled by Doctor Elefun so that he would not be a robot While the machine was operating. Once the machine stopped for a periodic shutdown, however, Astro Boy was quickly re-assembled. He knew what he had to do: find the machine hidden somewhere in the vast city, and destroy it before it destroyed him all this in the course of two minutes. Just 120 seconds! He finds the machine, all right, but attempting to overcome all the hidden obstacles Professor Plenty has planted in his path becomes one of Astro Boy's greatest and most unique adventures!

Imagine the furor that arose then, when word spread that a monster had actually been sighted in nearby Lake Foggy Bottom! Not one, as a matter of fact, but several! A bevy of prehistoric reptiles- lizards that towered several stories tall and endowed with, of all things, hypnotic venom! Exposure to a single drop of that powerful venom made men the slaves of the lizard. It was clear that this reptilian cotillion, unless curbed, would eventually enslave Mankind. It remained for a single individual - Astro Boy - to track the beasts to their lair, shrug off their hypnotic venom (ineffective against a robot) and send them packing back into the pages of prehistory.

The professor had learned how to communicate with animals. It was he who had planned and organized the uprising. Making peace with him and his horde, and at the same time saving the woodlands from destruction, was to become one of Astro Boy's most unusual and vexing assignments.

Neo Caesar
Doctor Elefun, Professor von FIugIe, and others in the scientific expedition, had trekked to the remote Himalayas in an all-out assault upon the region to learn once and for all whether or not there was such a creature as the Abominable Snowman. There was indeed such a creature, they learned, for it seized Doctor Elefun and disappeared with him! An 5.0.5. from the search party brought Astro Boy to the scene. Astro Boy’s intensive search led him straight to the Abominable Snowman, a fearsome creature who proved to be a robot! Although incredibly strong, the Snowman was no match for Astro Boy. Defeated in battle, the Snowman revealed that he had taken Doctor Elefun to a hidden city-a sort of Shangri-La, accessible only through a secret cave. Astro Boy flew at once to the cave, only to discover that the hidden city was a reconstruction of Ancient Rome! And the ”Emperor" of this Ancient Rome was a power-mad ruler named Sam Caesar! Caesar had created an Abominable Snowman robot to frighten strangers away from his hidden city; the city was, in fact, a spearhead from which Caesar was ready to launch an attack upon the entire world in an insane plot to recreate a glorious Roman Empire of old! Astro Boy's task was cut out for him: to free Doctor Elefun and nip in the bud the seeds of a new Roman Empire!

X Bomb
That mysterious plane that crashed in the Bering Strait was more than a routine air disaster; it was a global calamity. For, unknown even to security officers, aboard that plane was the dreaded X-Bomb, a stupendous explosive device used to probe stars in deep space. If that bomb should accidentally explode on Earth, all seven continents would be inundated by a wall of water. Civilization would be wiped out! There was a time fuse on that bomb, set to go off in 48 hours. The job of recovering and dismantling the bomb was too important, too secret, to entrust to anyone other than Astro Boy! Imagine Astro Boy’s horror, though, to discover that the bomb had somehow disappeared from the sunken plane! Finding the device - lost somewhere, anywhere on the face of the Earth - and finding it before it exploded, easily became the most pressing assignment of Astro Boy's career!

Afterwards, our heroes find that they are being pursued by a gang of dark strangers, also dressed in ancient Egyptian garb! Expert sleuthing by Astro Boy in Egypt reveals that the intent strangers are members of a secret society called the Crimson Brotherhood, whose Grand Master, Rasburton, has created a robot in the image of Cleopatra. Before the multitudes will accept her as Queen of the Nile, though, they demand to see proof of her royal heritage: the famous ruby "Cleopatra’s Heart". Now Astro Boy realises why the Crimson Brotherhood will stop at nothing to recover that jewel. With Mr. Pompous‘ life in danger, Astro Boy swings into action.

Cleopatra's Necklace
That fiend of the Nile, the evil genius Rasburton, had once before confronted Astro Boy, then fled when the brave, little robot thwarted his scheme to re-create an Egyptian dynasty.

All seems lost until a handsome young sheik discovers the disabled Astro Boy and revives him.

He swings into action at once, engaging in a mighty battle with a robot that towers higher than the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria!

The Robot Spaceship
Dr. Elefun's Institute of Science has achieved the impossible: it has actually built an all-robot spaceship: an unmanned "phantom ship" composed entirely of robot parts, each with its own electronic brain unit. Upon a command from Astro Boy, the greatest robot ever built, the individual parts of the ship assemble themselves into a space craft capable of undertaking journeys to the corners of the universe journeys lasting several hundred light years! Who wouldn't want such a ship for his country! Captain Olga, ruler of a tiny Pacific Island, tries to force Astro Boy into building her a phantom ship. Her purpose, though, is not to use the ship as an instrument of scientific study, but as a weapon for power. When Astro Boy eludes her agents, Captain Olga has her chief scientist, one Professor Schlepkin, build an imitation Astro Boy. This ersatz Astro Boy is similar enough to the original to be downright dangerous - so dangerous, in fact, that the two Astro Boys find it necessary to battle each other. Astro Boy vs. his double! Sure, the real Astro Boy wins, but not before the fake and his creators pull some unexpected and formidable surprises!

Chopped
Chopped is a cooking competition show that is all about skill, speed and ingenuity. Each week, four chefs compete before a panel of expert judges and turn baskets of mystery ingredients into an extraordinary three-course meal. Course by course, the chefs will be "chopped" from the competition until only one winner remains. The challenge? They have seconds to plan and 30 minutes to cook an amazing course with the basket of mystery ingredients given to them moments before the clock starts ticking! And the pressure doesn't stop there. Once they've completed their dish, they've got to survive the Chopping Block where our three judges are waiting to be wowed and not shy about voicing their culinary criticisms! Our host, Ted Allen, leads this high-energy, high-pressure show that will have viewers rooting for a winner and cheering for the losers. Chopped is a game of passion, expertise and skill — and in the end, only one chef will survive the Chopping Block. Who will make the cut? The answer is on Chopped!
