Thunderhead

Thunderhead made their entrance in the very first issue of Kurt Busiek's Astro City in 1996, part of the celebrated launch of one of modern comics' most thoughtful superhero universes. A creation of Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson, this character inhabits a richly imagined world where heroes feel genuinely lived-in, sharing that space with luminaries like Jack-in-the-Box, Confessor, Winged Victory, and Cleopatra. Though appearances in the catalog are select rather than sprawling, being woven into the fabric of Astro City from its very first page carries a distinction all its own — this is a character present at the creation of something special. For fans who love superhero storytelling with depth and heart, Thunderhead is a rewarding piece of that beloved tapestry.
