Lord Saampa

A sinister presence lurking in the richly layered world of Kurt Busiek and Brent Eric Anderson's Astro City, Lord Saampa made his debut in 2013 — part of the Modern Age tapestry of one of comics' most celebrated creator-driven universes. Though his catalog footprint is compact, he moves in compelling company, sharing pages with the likes of Jack-in-the-Box, The Broken Man, and Hummingbird — the kind of colorful, deeply imagined characters that make Astro City such a rewarding corner of DC's library. For collectors who love discovering the shadowy figures that give a fictional city its texture and menace, Lord Saampa is exactly the sort of find worth tracking down.
