The Jackson

Born into the richly layered world of Astro City in 1997, The Jackson is a Modern Age creation of the legendary Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson — the same visionary team behind one of comics' most celebrated superhero universes. Though their catalog footprint is modest, The Jackson inhabits a world where every corner character carries weight, sharing pages with the likes of Jack-in-the-Box and the Confessor across a publishing history that stretches a remarkable 25 years. For collectors who love Astro City's signature blend of humanity and heroism, tracking down The Jackson's appearances is exactly the kind of deep-dive treasure hunt that makes this universe so endlessly rewarding.
