Astro City #11
In "The Sorcerer's Assistant," writer Kurt Busiek and artist Brent Eric Anderson bring us to a quiet desert museum run by Ellie and her loyal robot companions. When her nephew Fred arrives unexpectedly, the calm of their isolated life begins to shift—though just how, remains a mystery. The issue’s lush art, with colors by Alex Sinclair and Wendy Broome and lettering by Comicraft’s John Roshell and Jimmy Betancourt, complements a story that feels both whimsical and quietly charged. Alex Ross’s striking cover captures the blend of wonder and unease at the heart of the tale.
