The longest, most sweeping epic in Astro City's history, in one volume for the first time. Across the 1970s and 80s, Charles & 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 featuring the full story of the death -- and life -- of the Silver Agent.
