Richie Forgione

Richie Forgione stepped onto the page in 2003, a Modern Age creation of the celebrated team of Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson, debuting in Astro City: Local Heroes #4 — a series that captures the street-level, human side of superhero life. Though his catalog footprint is small, he inhabits a rich corner of the Astro City universe, sharing adventures with figures like The Blue Knight, Jack-in-the-Box, and Cleopatra. For fans who love the texture and heart that make Astro City one of DC's most distinctive imprints, even a minor player like Richie is a reminder that every face in that city has a story worth finding.
