The Gentleman

Few characters wear their name as naturally as The Gentleman, a figure who stepped onto the page in 1996 courtesy of the visionary team of Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson in the landmark Wizard Presents: Kurt Busiek's Astro City #1/2. Born at the dawn of the Modern Age, he's woven into the rich, humanistic tapestry of Astro City — one of comics' most celebrated and enduring shared universes, now spanning nearly three decades under DC's banner. He keeps remarkable company, sharing adventures with icons of that world like Samaritan, Cleopatra, and N-Forcer, which speaks to his place among the movers and shakers of Astro City's storied landscape. If you love comics that treat their characters with intelligence and heart, The Gentleman is exactly the kind of discovery that rewards a deep dive into the Astro City library.
