The Assemblyman

A denizen of Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson's richly imagined Astro City, The Assemblyman made his entrance in 1999 and has kept remarkable company ever since — sharing pages with the likes of Jack-in-the-Box, Hummingbird, N-Forcer, and Cleopatra in that beloved corner of the Image universe. Astro City has always been a world where every character, no matter how briefly glimpsed, feels like they carry a whole untold history behind them, and The Assemblyman is very much part of that tradition. With appearances stretching across 26 years and collected in the essential Astro City Metrobook editions, he's a testament to just how deep and rewarding Busiek's world-building gets for fans willing to dig in.
