Sledgehammer

Sledgehammer is one of the colorful inhabitants of Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson's beloved Astro City, that richly imagined superhero universe that debuted in 1996 and has kept readers hooked across more than two decades. A Modern Age creation with a name that promises raw, blunt-force presence, Sledgehammer shares the vibrant streets of Astro City with fan-favorites like Confessor, Jack-in-the-Box, and Crackerjack — some of the most distinctive characters in independent superhero comics. Though catalog appearances are rare, that scarcity only adds to the appeal for devoted Astro City collectors who know that even a glimpse of a character in Busiek's world comes loaded with craft and intention.
