The Maharajah of Maga-Dhor

Few characters carry a title quite as evocative as The Maharajah of Maga-Dhor, a figure who made his entrance into Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson's richly layered Astro City universe in 2005. This Modern Age creation moves through some genuinely stellar company — sharing pages with the legendary Silver Agent, the Furst family, and the fearsome Hellhound — which tells you something about the caliber of storytelling he's woven into. Though his catalog footprint is small, his appearances span nearly two decades of Astro City continuity, surfacing across the Dark Age saga and beyond, which speaks to the care Busiek brings to even his most enigmatic corners of this world. For collectors who love a character with an air of grand, mysterious distinction, The Maharajah of Maga-Dhor is exactly the kind of discovery that makes deep-diving into Astro City so rewarding.
