ASTRO CITY part 3

Due to the erratic schedule this series experienced, the creators decided that they would rather tell the stories in mini-series format, and that's when we got the first of (hopefully) many, called Local Heroes. On the picture you can see the 5 issues (above) and the hardcover and trade paperback versions of it (below).

The next series came in 2 volumes or "books". The Dark Age: Book One was a 4-issue miniseries that was soon followed by Book Two, again with the same number of issues. Since these are the most recent series of the Astro City saga, they haven't been collected, yet. I'll keep you informed when they come out.

Along with the mini-series, special one-shots were published in 2004, such as (pictured from left to right) "The Visitor's Guide", which is a clever tourist guide-type book of the fictional city; "Supersonic" a 40-page prelude to The Dark Age: Book One, "The Astro City/Arrowsmith" flipbook (the other side's cover is drawn by Carlos Pacheco) and the 2006 "Samaritan Special" which bridges the gap between the 2 Dark Age series.

Again, none of this stories are IN MY COLLECTION therefore I cannot comment on the plot and characters.
