Crackerjack

Crackerjack leapt onto the scene in 1997 within the richly imagined world of Kurt Busiek's Astro City, a Modern Age gem that reimagines superhero mythology from the ground up. Created by Busiek and Brent E. Anderson, this character inhabits a universe populated by compelling figures like Confessor and Jack-in-the-Box, making for some genuinely memorable shared adventures across titles like Astro City: Confession and the Astro City Metrobook. Astro City has always been a labor of love — a series that rewards readers who want their superhero comics layered with heart and craft — and Crackerjack is a piece of that carefully constructed tapestry worth seeking out.
