Tyranos Rex

Tyranos Rex stomps onto the scene in Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson's Astro City: Dark Age / Book One #2 (2005), a Modern Age creation born into one of comics' most richly textured independent universes — now collected and celebrated in the Astro City Metrobook editions. Though their catalog footprint is small, the company they keep is anything but: sharing pages with iconic Astro City figures like The Silver Agent and the Furst family speaks to a character woven into the fabric of that world's turbulent history. For collectors who love the layered, humanistic storytelling that defines Busiek and Anderson's Astro City, Tyranos Rex is one of those intriguing corner-pieces worth tracking down.
