Astro City: Dark Age / Book Three

In this final story arc of the Dark Age trilogy, Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson bring their sprawling, character-driven saga of Astro City's gritty 1970s and 1980s to a close. Published by DC's WildStorm imprint, the four-issue series follows brothers Charles and Royal Williams as they navigate a city scarred by corruption and the shadow of the fallen Silver Agent. Anchored by the return of detective Alan Craig and the enigmatic Augustus Furst, this chapter deepens the human cost of superheroics by focusing on ordinary lives caught in extraordinary times. It stands as a poignant capstone to one of the most acclaimed explorations of the genre's golden and silver ages turned dark.
