Cal Tarrant

Kurt Busiek and Brent Eric Anderson introduced Cal Tarrant to the richly layered world of Astro City in 2013, a Modern Age creation born into one of DC's most celebrated humanist superhero universes. Across a span stretching into 2025, Cal keeps remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Jack-in-the-Box, Mister Cakewalk, and Dame Progress, the kind of vivid, distinctive figures that make Astro City feel like a city genuinely teeming with life. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Cal is a rare find for the devoted Astro City completist — exactly the sort of character that rewards readers who love digging into the corners of Busiek's meticulously built world.
