Description
The longest, most sweeping epic in Astro City's history, in one volume for the first time. Across the 1970s and '80s, Charles and Royal Williams deal with tragedy and obsession. One a cop, one a criminal, both have been shaped irrevocably by Astro City's heroes, and as the city enters a time of darkness, it'll take all they have to survive.
Also features the full story of the death-and life-of the Silver Agent.
