1997
Snapshots. They let us capture moments of truth, fragments of time—and that's as true in Astro City, a city of heroes, villains, monsters and more, as it is anywhere. You're invited, in the Family Album, to share some of the city's greatest memories—from the wonder and terror experienced by a family new in town, to a world-famous superhero's first day at school, a crimefighter and his wife facing momentous decisions about the future, and more.

Astro City, Vol. 4
2000
Kurt Busiek's Astro Tarnished Angel tells a story that would be just as compelling even if its hapless hero weren't made of metal. It's a familiar old supervillain Carl Donewicz—or Steeljack—gets out of prison old and broken, and just wants to spend his last years out of sight. Events, as they will, conspire against him, and his journey through prejudice, mistrust, andbackstabbing ethics is deeply moving. Brent Eric Anderson's penciling is precise and perfectly balanced between '70s superheroes and '40s pulp; Will Blyberg's inks are unparalleled. Readers who are tired of the hero-recycling that's been standard operating procedure at the major comics companies should reward themselves with a visit to Astro City. —Rob Lightner
