Mitch Goodman

Mitch Goodman is a Modern Age creation born from the richly human storytelling of Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson, debuting in Kurt Busiek's Astro City #21 in 2000 — a series celebrated for grounding superhero mythology in everyday lives and moral complexity. Over a span stretching all the way to 2023, Mitch has kept remarkable company, sharing pages with luminaries like Samaritan, Quarrel, and Cleopatra across the beloved Astro City landscape. With only a handful of appearances, he's a character whose significance lies in the texture he adds to that world rather than sheer volume — exactly the kind of quietly essential figure that makes Astro City such a rewarding universe to explore. For collectors who love the human side of superhero comics, tracking down Mitch Goodman's appearances is a small but satisfying treasure hunt.
