ENGLISH BOOK
Kurt Busiek's Astro City: Tarnished Angel tells a story that would
be just as compelling even if its hapless hero weren't made of metal.
It's a familiar story: old supervillain Carl Donewicz--or
Steeljack--gets out of prison old and broken, and just wants to spend
his last years out of sight. Events, as they will, conspire against him,
and his journey through prejudice, mistrust, andbackstabbing ethics is
deeply moving. Brent Eric Anderson's penciling is precise and perfectly
balanced between '70s superheroes and '40s pulp; Will Blyberg's inks are
unparalleled. Readers who are tired of the hero-recycling that's been
standard operating procedure at the major comics companies should reward
themselves with a visit to Astro City. --Rob Lightner
