Sarah Brandeis

Sarah Brandeis made her entrance in the very first issue of Kurt Busiek's Astro City in 1995 — a collector-significant debut that helped launch one of the most celebrated superhero universes of the Modern Age. Over thirty years and 45 catalogued appearances across Astro City and its collected editions, she's proven herself a genuine fixture in a world populated by remarkable figures like Samaritan, Beautie, and Cleopatra. Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson built Astro City as a place where every character, hero or otherwise, feels grounded and human, and Sarah Brandeis is very much part of that richly textured tapestry. For readers who love superhero storytelling with real depth and heart, following her thread through Astro City's long, rewarding run is well worth the journey.
