Gas Giant

Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson introduced Gas Giant to readers in 2005, dropping this striking figure into the morally complex, street-level world of Astro City's celebrated Dark Age saga — a Modern Age story that wrestles with the shadows behind superhero mythology. Across the Dark Age books, Gas Giant shares the page with a compelling cast including Charles Williams, Royal Williams, and the enigmatic Strangeling, lending this character a rich narrative context even within a modest appearance count. If you're diving into Astro City's most ambitious and emotionally grounded arc, Gas Giant is one of those vivid pieces of Busiek's intricate world-building that rewards the attentive reader.
