Brian Kinney

Brian Kinney stepped onto the page in 1996, born from the imaginations of Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson in the celebrated pages of Kurt Busiek's Astro City — one of the Modern Age's most beloved and humanistic superhero universes. Over nearly three decades, Brian has kept remarkable company, sharing adventures alongside icons of that richly textured world like Confessor, Samaritan, and Jack-in-the-Box. With 19 catalog appearances spread across Astro City and its collected Metrobook editions, he's a figure woven into the fabric of a series that has always prized the street-level, personal perspective as much as the grand heroic spectacle — and for fans who love comics that treat every character with genuine care, that's reason enough to seek him out.
