Winged Victory

Winged Victory is a champion of women's empowerment in Kurt Busiek's Astro City, a powerful armored heroine who serves as an inspiration and protector, standing as one of the city's most prominent and respected heroes.

Few characters capture the ambitions of the Modern Age quite like Winged Victory, who soared onto the scene in Kurt Busiek's Astro City #3 in 1995, a creation of the legendary team of Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson. Over thirty years and 42 catalog appearances — across Astro City and its collected Metrobook editions — she has proven herself one of the most enduring figures in that richly imagined world, keeping remarkable company alongside the likes of Samaritan, Cleopatra, and N-Forcer. If you've ever wanted a character whose very presence signals that a comic takes its heroes seriously, Winged Victory is exactly where to start.
