Arthro

Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson introduced Arthro to the rich, layered world of Astro City in 2005, a Modern Age creation that inhabits one of comics' most celebrated independent-minded superhero universes. Across the Dark Age books — that sprawling, morally complex arc that defines so much of Astro City's ambition — Arthro keeps striking company with the likes of Kahoutek, Encephalon, and Xi Lun Chu, figures who signal just how imaginatively populated this corner of comics truly is. With appearances spanning nearly two decades, Arthro is a thread woven into the fabric of Astro City's ongoing tapestry, and for collectors who love discovering the deeper bench of Busiek and Anderson's meticulously crafted world, that's reason enough to look closer.
