Cleopatra

Cleopatra made her entrance in the pages of Kurt Busiek's Astro City #2 in 1995, born from the celebrated creative partnership of Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson — and she's been part of that richly imagined universe ever since. A Modern Age original, she's woven through nearly three decades of Astro City storytelling, sharing the page with luminaries like The Silver Agent, N-Forcer, and Hummingbird — the kind of company that signals she belongs to one of comics' most thoughtfully constructed superhero tapestries. For fans who love character-driven, literary superhero fiction, Astro City is essential reading, and Cleopatra is one of its enduring threads — a figure worth tracking down across the Metrobook collections and original single issues alike.
