The Cloak of Night

Wrapped in mystery and introduced by the legendary Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson in 2010, The Cloak of Night is a Modern Age denizen of Astro City — one of comics' most richly imagined superhero universes. Though their catalog footprint is small, the company they keep speaks volumes: sharing pages with the likes of Jack-in-the-Box, Hummingbird, and the wonderfully named Mister Cakewalk marks this figure as part of Astro City's colorful, deeply humanist tapestry. For collectors who love discovering the atmospheric corners of a beloved world, The Cloak of Night is exactly the kind of evocative presence that makes Astro City worth exploring cover to cover.
