Description

This is for Western Civilization Board's Art Theme MARCH - ATOMIC AGE: That cool atomic ranch style where atomic power has taken over the progress of technology and everything looks like it's in the 50's but with flying cars.

This is Uran of the Astro Boy series has been captured by the forces of evil. Now Astro Boy's "sister" is the bait in some trap.

Uran (also known as Astro Girl, Sarah or Zoran) is a major recurring protagonist in the Astro Boy Series, she is Astro's younger sister. She was created by Dr. Ochanomizu and was presented to Astro as a birthday gift or New Year's gift (depends on which version). She often finds herself getting into trouble and causing trouble for Astro. She possesses a part of Astro's strength but none of his powers, but in the 2003 series, she was given the ability to talk with animals. She's emotional and caring like her older brother as she was based on his design. She has the closest relationship with Astro. She is cheeky and yet loyal to her brother.

Astro Boy, known in Japan by its original name Mighty Atom, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka it was serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine from 1952 to 1968. The original 112 chapters were collected into 23 tankobon volumes by Kodansha. The English volumes would not become available until 2002 when the rights were licensed by Dark Horse. The story follows the protagonist, Astro Boy, an android with human emotions who is created by Umataro Tenma after the death of his son, eventually Astro is sold to a robot circus run by Hamegg but, is saved from his servitude by Professor Ochanomizu.
