Who is Slugger?

Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson introduced Slugger to readers in the very first Astro City special back in 1996, planting this character at the ground floor of one of the most celebrated creator-owned superhero universes of the Modern Age. Over nearly three decades, Slugger has kept remarkable company within the richly layered streets of Astro City β€” sharing pages with icons like the Confessor, Jack-in-the-Box, and All-American β€” which speaks to a character woven into the fabric of that world's mythology. With appearances spanning the Astro City Metrobook collections and the fan-favorite Confession arc, Slugger may not rack up the highest page count, but that debut pedigree and the caliber of the surrounding cast make this a name any serious Astro City devotee will want to know.
