ASTRO CITY: Life in the Big City HC w/Remarque sketch by Brent Anderson

Volume 1 in the Astro City Series
Written by Kurt Busiek; Art by Brent Anderson

The original ASTRO CITY miniseries is back in a new edition, simultaneously available in hardcover and trade paperback with new cover art by Alex Ross.

Welcome to Astro City, a shining city on a hill where super heroes patrol the skies. Each chapter in this collection is a stand-alone story: The city's leading super hero tries to be everywhere at once while longing for a moment of his own. A small-time hood learns a hero's secret identity and tries to profit from the knowledge. A beat reporter gets the scoop of a lifetime --that will never see print. A young woman balances the demands of family and tradition on Shadow Hill with her own dreams and fears in the modern, super-heroic world of downtown Astro City. Despite the fantastic settings, the characters in these slice-of-life stories feel like real people, giving the stories a rare power and depth.
