Starfighter

Starfighter burst onto the scene in 1999 within the richly imagined world of Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson's Astro City, one of the most acclaimed superhero universes of the Modern Age — a place where every costumed figure feels lived-in and real. Over a remarkable span stretching to 2025, this character has kept extraordinary company, sharing adventures with the likes of Cleopatra, N-Forcer, The Black Rapier, and Hummingbird across the beloved Astro City titles and the sweeping Dark Age saga. With 25 catalog appearances woven through some of the series' most celebrated volumes, Starfighter is exactly the kind of character that rewards the devoted Astro City reader — a figure who enriches the texture of Busiek and Anderson's extraordinary shared world.
