Kurt Busiek's Astro City #1
Kurt Busiek's Astro City #1 kicks off with a quiet moment of doubt as Ben Pullam, newly arrived in the sprawling metropolis of Astro City, questions his decision to uproot his daughters—only to be thrust into a world where even the elements have wills of their own. The story’s opening, "Welcome to Astro City," sets a grounded tone with a city alive with wonder and unseen danger, all rendered in Alex Ross’s breathtaking cover art and Brent E. Anderson’s detailed interiors.
