Professor Borzoi

A mysterious figure woven into the rich tapestry of Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson's beloved Astro City, Professor Borzoi made their debut in 1998 — right in the heart of comics' Modern Age — and has lingered in that beautifully crafted universe ever since. With a name that carries an air of Old World intrigue, this character inhabits a world alongside the likes of Jack-in-the-Box, Quarrel, and The Gentleman, the kind of colorful, layered company that makes Astro City one of DC's most celebrated shared universes. Appearances may be select and carefully chosen rather than frequent, but in Astro City, even a handful of pages can leave a lasting impression — Busiek and Anderson don't waste a single panel. If you're a fan of thoughtful, character-driven superhero storytelling with real depth and atmosphere, tracking down Professor Borzoi's moments in these pages is exactly the kind of rewarding hunt that makes collecting so satisfying.
