Solid

Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson introduced Solid into the richly layered world of Astro City in 2005, a Modern Age creation born into one of comics' most celebrated independent universes. With a debut in the acclaimed Dark Age storyline, this character shares the page with iconic Astro City figures like the Silver Agent and Jack-in-the-Box — rarefied company that speaks to Solid's place within a carefully crafted mythology. Though appearances in the catalog are select rather than sprawling, Astro City has always rewarded its supporting cast with genuine weight and purpose, and any character woven into Busiek and Anderson's tapestry is worth a closer look for fans who appreciate superhero storytelling with real literary ambition.
