Lannie McDonnell

Lannie McDonnell stepped onto the page in 2007, a Modern Age creation of the legendary Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson within the richly textured world of Astro City — a DC universe celebrated for its deeply human storytelling set against a superheroic backdrop. With a catalog presence spanning all the way to 2023, Lannie inhabits a corner of Astro City's sprawling cast alongside compelling figures like Charles Williams, Lafayette O'Hearn, and the enigmatic Strangeling. A character whose appearances are rare and concentrated, Lannie is exactly the kind of quietly significant figure that rewards the dedicated Astro City reader hunting every thread of Busiek and Anderson's masterfully woven tapestry.
