Switchblade

Switchblade cut their way into comics in 1999, born from the celebrated creative partnership of Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson in the pages of Kurt Busiek's Astro City — one of the most thoughtful and richly imagined superhero universes of the Modern Age. Though their catalog footprint is compact, the Astro City universe rewards every appearance with depth and craft, and Switchblade keeps genuinely distinguished company: sharing pages with icons of that world like Cleopatra, Quarrel, Jack-in-the-Box, the legendary Silver Agent, and Umbra. For collectors who prize quality over quantity and love a universe where every character feels purposeful, Switchblade is a name worth tracking down across the Metrobook collections and the acclaimed Dark Age storyline.
