Alan Craig

Alan Craig made his debut in the very first issue of Kurt Busiek's Astro City in 1995 — a collector-significant key that launched one of the most celebrated superhero universes of the Modern Age. Created by Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson, Alan has kept remarkable company across 43 appearances spanning three decades, sharing pages with icons of the Astro City world like The Silver Agent, Jack-in-the-Box, and Julius Furst. That kind of longevity in a richly layered universe speaks volumes — this is a character woven into the very fabric of a story that has never stopped being told. Whether you're a longtime devotee of Astro City or just discovering its streets, Alan Craig is part of the foundation worth exploring.
