Quarrel

Quarrel is a street-level hero operating in Astro City, the richly realized superhero metropolis of Kurt Busiek's celebrated series. She is a skilled, non-powered crimefighter known for working alongside fellow Astro City heroes such as Jack-in-the-Box.

Quarrel is one of those quietly compelling figures who makes Kurt Busiek's Astro City universe feel so richly lived-in — a character born in 1998 who has kept remarkable company across more than two decades, sharing adventures with the likes of Jack-in-the-Box, Cleopatra, and Carl Donewicz in one of modern comics' most celebrated humanist superhero settings. Emerging in the late Copper/Modern Age, Quarrel embodies exactly what Busiek and artist Brent E. Anderson do best: grounding extraordinary circumstances in deeply personal, street-level storytelling. Appearing across Astro City, the collected Metrobook editions, and the acclaimed Dark Age arc, this character is a genuine gem for readers who love comics that treat their heroes as real people with real histories. If you're building your Astro City knowledge, Quarrel is absolutely worth tracking down.
