Astro City #14
In "Ellie's Friends," writer Kurt Busiek and artist Brent Eric Anderson bring us a quiet, heartfelt story set in the desert, where Ellie and her loyal robot companions maintain a peaceful life running a museum. When her nephew Fred arrives unexpectedly, the calm of their isolated world begins to shift in ways neither of them could have foreseen. The issue's lush, detailed art by Anderson—enhanced by Alex Sinclair and Wendy Broome's colors—pairs perfectly with Alex Ross’s striking cover, making this a standout entry in the Astro City series.
