Ben Colstone

Ben Colstone stepped onto the page in Astro City #2 in 2013, born from the celebrated creative partnership of Kurt Busiek and Brent Eric Anderson — the same visionary duo behind one of DC's most beloved and humanistic superhero universes. A Modern Age figure, he's woven into the rich tapestry of Astro City across a span stretching into 2025, sharing adventures with a compelling cast that includes Cleopatra, Hummingbird, Quarrel, and Wolfspider. While his appearances number in the teens, Astro City has always rewarded its supporting players with depth and meaning, and any character who endures in Busiek's world is worth a closer look.
