Jerome Johnson

A resident of the richly imagined Astro City universe, Jerome Johnson made his debut in 1997 during the Modern Age, born from the celebrated creative partnership of Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson. His world is populated by some of Astro City's most compelling figures — Jack-in-the-Box, the Confessor, and others who give that city its beating heart — and while his catalog appearances are few, they carry the weight of Busiek's signature humanist storytelling. For collectors who prize character-driven comics where every face on the street feels real and consequential, Jerome Johnson is exactly the kind of discovery that makes Astro City worth reading cover to cover.
