Astro City TPB Volume 1: Life in the Big City
Written by Kurt Busiek; Art by Brent Anderson
Welcome to Astro City, a shining city on a hill where super-heroes patrol the skies. Each chapter in this
collection is a standalone story, highlighting different aspects or characters in the Astro City world. The
city's leading super-hero tries to be everywhere at once, and berates himself for every wasted second as
he longs for just a moment of his own. A smalltime hood learns a hero's secret identity, and tries to figure
out how to profit from the knowledge. A beat reporter gets some advice from his editor on his first day on
the job. A young woman tries to balance the demands of her family with her own hopes and desires.
Despite the fantastic settings, the characters in these slice-of-life stories feel like real people, and that
gives the stories real power. Collects Astro City Vol. 1 #1-6 192 PGS.
