Illula

Illula made her entrance into the rich tapestry of Astro City in 2015, brought to life by the celebrated creative partnership of Kurt Busiek and Jesús Merino in one of modern comics' most beloved humanist superhero universes. A Modern Age creation published under DC, she inhabits a world populated by compelling figures like Cleopatra, Hummingbird, N-Forcer, Starfighter, and Trill — an impressive neighborhood by any measure. Her appearances are few and choice, the kind of selective presence that makes digging through Astro City back issues and the collected Metrobooks such a rewarding treasure hunt for devoted fans of Busiek's intricate, character-driven storytelling.
