Palmetto

Palmetto is one of the colorful inhabitants of Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson's beloved Astro City, that richly imagined superhero universe that debuted under the Image banner in 1995 and went on to become one of the most celebrated creator-owned comics of the Modern Age. Appearing across nearly three decades of Astro City storytelling, Palmetto shares the vibrant streets and skies of that world alongside standout figures like the Confessor, Jack-in-the-Box, and Crackerjack. With only a handful of appearances, Palmetto is one of those intriguing background figures that give Astro City its remarkable sense of a living, breathing world teeming with heroes and mysteries beyond any single spotlight — a reminder that in Busiek and Anderson's universe, even a glimpse of a character can feel like the tip of a much larger iceberg worth exploring.
