Eterneon

Eterneon is one of the vivid background jewels of Astro City, Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson's beloved love letter to superhero mythology, debuting in 1996 at the dawn of the Modern Age. A creation of that celebrated series' richly textured universe, Eterneon inhabits a world populated by luminaries like Confessor, Jack-in-the-Box, and Crackerjack — exactly the kind of colorful, layered company that makes Astro City feel like a living, breathing metropolis of wonders. Though appearances in the catalog are rare, that scarcity only adds to the character's mystique, the sort of figure who rewards the dedicated reader hunting through collected editions like Astro City: Confession and the Astro City Metrobook. For fans who prize the texture and depth that Busiek and Anderson wove into every corner of their world, Eterneon is a tantalizing glimpse of just how expansive that universe truly is.
