Who's who and What's what in Astro City

Introduction

One of the best parts of Astro City is the enourmous scope and breath of the series. There's a whole world waiting behind the scenes, filled with superheroes, villains and monsters, weird technology and magic, strange places and things, heck even normal people. The following pages are an attempt to catalog this wonderful world.

The other nice thing about Astro City are the hidden homages and references to famous and not so famous comics writers, artists and fans. Some you may have heard from, others will be less well know, which is why the homages have a seperate list for them. Did you know that Kurt, Brent and Alex have also appeared in several issues?

Citations are issue:page.panel. E.G. 1:1:2.3 means volume 1, issue 1, page 2 panel 3.
NAI means No Additional Information. Normal, non-super people are not listed.
