Exclusive DC preview: Alex Ross delivers striking designs for Astro City: Private Lives
Astro City is consistently one of the strongest superhero reads of each month, and this week sees the release of a new collection featuring some of the best chapters of the book’s current run at Vertigo. Astro City Vol. 11: Private Lives collects issues #11-#16, an assortment that includes the mind-bending Dancing Master story and a touching tale that introduces Astro City’s first transgender character (at least the first that this reader is aware of), and it’s a great showcase of the high-quality work done by writer Kurt Busiek, artist Brent Anderson (with fill-ins by Graham Nolan), colorist Alex Sinclair, and cover artist/character designer Alex Ross.
