Conquistador

Conquistador made their entrance into the rich tapestry of Astro City in 1999, born from the imaginations of Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson — the masterminds behind one of comics' most celebrated creator-driven universes. A Modern Age figure published under DC, this character inhabits the same vivid streets as memorable personalities like Steeljack, Beautie, and Cleopatra, the kind of eclectic company that signals Astro City at its most ambitious and character-driven. With appearances spanning all the way to 2022, Conquistador is a testament to the enduring world Busiek and Anderson built — and for devoted Astro City collectors, even a rare presence in that universe is well worth seeking out.
