Max O'Millions

Dreamed up by the legendary Kurt Busiek and artist Brent Anderson, Max O'Millions made his debut in the very second issue of Kurt Busiek's Astro City in 1995 — a title that would go on to become one of the most celebrated superhero universes of the Modern Age. Part of the rich, layered tapestry that makes Astro City such a rewarding read, Max shares his world with memorable figures like Jack-in-the-Box, The Silver Agent, and Cleopatra, which tells you something about the colorful, ambitious company this character keeps. With appearances collected across key volumes including the Astro City Metrobook and Astro City: A Visitor's Guide, Max O'Millions is one of those wonderfully named corners of Busiek's universe that rewards the curious fan who wants to explore every street of that remarkable city.
