Mister Cakewalk

Mister Cakewalk is one of the more intriguingly named figures to emerge from Kurt Busiek and Brent Eric Anderson's beloved Astro City — that richly humanist corner of the DC universe where superhero mythology gets its most thoughtful treatment. Debuting in 2013 and persisting into the mid-2020s, this Modern Age character keeps genuinely fascinating company, sharing pages with the likes of Jack-in-the-Box, Hummingbird, and the enigmatic Broken Man. With Astro City as his home, Mister Cakewalk belongs to one of comics' most acclaimed and character-dense sandboxes — and any figure Busiek takes the time to name this memorably is well worth seeking out.
