Josh Stone

Stepping out of the rich world Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson built in Astro City, Josh Stone made his debut in 2003's Local Heroes #4 — a Modern Age introduction into one of comics' most celebrated independent-minded universes. With only a handful of appearances spread across Local Heroes and Dark Age / Book One, he's a compact but intriguing presence, sharing pages with memorable figures like The Silver Agent, The Blue Knight, and the Furst family. For collectors who love the layered, humanist storytelling that defines Astro City, even a character with a small footprint can carry real weight — and Josh Stone is exactly the kind of discovery that rewards digging into every corner of this beloved series.
