Carnie

Carnie stepped onto the scene in 2015, born from the celebrated creative partnership of Kurt Busiek and Brent Eric Anderson in the pages of Astro City — one of modern comics' most acclaimed and humanistic superhero universes. A Modern Age character with a compact but intriguing footprint, Carnie shares the richly populated world of Astro City alongside figures like Jimmy Shade, Tearaway, and Medulla, the kind of vivid ensemble that makes Busiek's storytelling so distinctive. With appearances collected in the handsome Astro City Metrobook editions, this is exactly the sort of character that rewards the dedicated reader who loves discovering the layered corners of a carefully crafted universe.
