Created by Kurt Busiek with covers and character designs by Alex Ross, Astro City explores a metropolis bursting with heroes, villains, and monsters—but tells its stories primarily through the eyes of ordinary citizens, reporters, and street-level heroes.

The Metrobook line collects Busiek's legendary run in chunky 500+ page trade paperbacks. Instead of world-ending event fatigue, Astro City delivers poignant, standalone human stories about what living in a world of demigods actually feels like.
