Mighty Mouse or Japan's Astro Boy?

(2,524 posts)3. Which came first??? Let's see...
Mighty Mouse made his first appearance in the 1942 short film, "The Mouse of Tomorrow."
as Super Mouse, created by animator Isidore Klein + studio head Paul Terry at Terrytoons.
His name was changed to Mighty Mouse in 1944 to avoid confusion w/ another character.
Astro Boy, created by Japanese manga artist Osamu Tezuka, first appeared in 1951 as a
supporting character in "Ambassador Atom" and became the main character in the manga
"Tetsuwan Atom" (Mighty Atom), which began serialization in April 1952.
