Tom Aaronson

Kurt Busiek and Carmen Carnero introduced Tom Aaronson to the richly layered world of Astro City in 2016, a Modern Age corner of the DC universe where the human stories behind the superhero spectacle always take center stage. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Tom is very much a figure of the neighborhood — the kind of grounded, everyday presence that makes Astro City feel so real — sharing his pages with characters like Jack-in-the-Box and the Dobrescu family. For collectors who love Busiek's signature blend of heart and heroism, even a small role in Astro City carries weight.
