Astroman

A product of Image Comics' mid-2000s Modern Age energy, Astroman made his entrance in Intimidators #1 (2005), brought to life by writer Neil Kleid and artist Miguel Montenegro. Though his catalog footprint is compact — spanning Intimidators and a turn in Bomb Queen III: The Good, the Bad & the Lovely alongside the likes of Kent Williams — there's an undeniable intrigue to a character who orbits the wilder, more irreverent corners of the Image universe. For collectors hunting the hidden gems of that era's independent scene, Astroman is exactly the kind of discovery worth tracking down.
