The Mighty Atom Club magazine was launched after the grand success of the 1963 anime, "Mighty Atom" (Astro Boy). It was a part of the official fan club: "Mushi Productions Tomo no Kai (Friends Association)". It disbanded after Mighty Atom's initial airing on TV in late 1966. Based on Tezuka Osamu's manga series "Jungle Emperor" from 1950, one-shots started to appear in the magazine in March of 1966 (Vol. 20-28). Drawn by Tezuka's associates, these eight stories would later air as episodes from the first and second anime series. The Jungle Emperor chapters were never re-printed and stay exclusive to the original magazines.

As the future emperor of the African jungle, Leo the lion cub is sent off to live with a little Japanese boy named Kenichi. During his stint with the humans, Leo has many learning experiences and somehow always manages to get into a little trouble along the way. But when a rat arrives—carried by a stork like a little bundle of joy, no less—with a message from home, Leo realizes it’s time to return to the jungle. As he embarks on his biggest adventure yet, he’s unaware of the great battles that lie ahead. (Source: DMG)
