Jimmy Shade

Kurt Busiek and Brent Eric Anderson introduced Jimmy Shade to the rich, character-driven world of Astro City in 2014, a Modern Age debut that places him squarely in one of DC's most celebrated and humanistic superhero universes. Though his catalog footprint is intimate — just six appearances — he shares those pages with a compelling roster that includes Cleopatra, Skyraker, Medulla, Tearaway, and the fan-favorite Astra Furst, suggesting he moves in genuinely interesting circles. Astro City has always rewarded readers who pay attention to every corner of its world, and Jimmy Shade is exactly the kind of figure that makes digging into the Astro City Metrobook collections so worthwhile.
