Grass Boy

Yes, it was true. Someone had finally learned how to blend Etheric Resin with Clear Plastic to produce an invisible robot. Only polarized light could make Zero visible. Now Fearless Fred Fenk knew nothing about polarized light, but as a notorious fink and convict, he knew he could steal the world blind with an invisible robot. Lying to Zero, making him think that every robbery would benefit the poor, Fearless Fred was able to pull the biggest, most daring, most successful, most baffling jobs in history! Seemingly, Zero could not be stopped. Not until he was ordered by Fearless Fred to destroy the Institute of Science and its guiding genius, Doctor Packadermus J. Elefun-Astro Boy’s friend, mentor, and guardian! Thus, robot was pitted against robot. Astro Boy won the contest, as Astro Boy must, being the most perfect robot ever built; but he lost, in a way, too. For his attempt to save Zero ends in failure...and Astro Boy must pause in the end to reassess his own singular role in a world filled with many heartless human beings.
