GIGANTOR (Tetsujin Ninjuhachi-go, or "Ironman No.28" in Japan) was the creation of comic-book artist Mitsuteru Yokoyama (born June 18, 1934).

 Absolute Anime / Gigantor
The animation was through TCJ (Television Corporation of Japan- now extinct) and the English version was produced by Fred Ladd and Al Singer through Delphi Associates inc. Peter Fernandez wrote the English lip sync scripts for at least half of the episodes and was paid $100 to $125 per episode.
Those episodes contained some material unflattering to the West, and some bad animation; the new studio, with new animators, felt their early efforts were not world-class....so our shows began with episode 27 and continued in sequence (as far as we knew) for the next 52 shows.
In this episode Gigantor looses an arm and a leg for the first and last time, and Gigantor actually has to be repaired.

GIGANTOR's greatest success is with its target audience of small children, fulfilling the fantasy of commanding a powerful genii friend to fight evil.

Unlike the scenario of the version dubbed for U.S. market, Gigantor was meant to be a war machine developed to win the war for the Japanese (WW II that is), so it's a 20th century creation.
Yokoyama himself didn't think the comic was going to be such a big hit, and his original idea was that after Gigantor fights his first battle, it would be deemed too dangerous to keep around and would be smelted back to metal.
