Banana Bender

Bursting onto the scene in the pages of Astro City #28 in 2015, Banana Bender is a Modern Age creation from the celebrated team of Kurt Busiek and Gary Chaloner, living within one of DC's most beloved creator-driven universes. Astro City has long been a home for richly imagined characters both grand and gloriously offbeat, and Banana Bender keeps genuinely distinctive company — sharing adventures with the likes of Cleopatra, Hummingbird, Quarrel, Beautie, and Numbat. Still a rare find with only a handful of catalog appearances, this is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that makes digging through Astro City's layered world such a rewarding experience for dedicated fans.
