(106) ASTRO CITY: A VISITOR'S GUIDE
10/ 2004: Astro City: A Visitor's Guide -- 20,844
This special contains a short story and
a whole bunch of pin-ups by a variety of artists, among other things.
At $ 5.95, this is a fairly good performance.
It was fun seeing the world of Astro
City from so many different artistic perspectives. It's basically been
Alex Ross and Brent Anderson from the start, so these other
interpretations were a nice change of pace. I was surprised at the lack
of involvement Ross had in this book. In the original series, Ross's
design sketches were often included in each issue, and I miss those
behind-the-scenes elements.
DC is asking far too high a price for a
non-prestige format book that's low on actual story content. This could
have served as a great marketing tool to get new readers to check out
the property, but at this price, only Astro City completists will
bother picking it up. 6/10
I picked up ASTRO CITY: A VISITOR'S GUIDE, and while the book is a
must-have for Astro City fans, there is no contribution from George
within its pages.
Diamond published their
official shipping list and ASTRO CITY: A VISITOR'S GUIDE is confirmed
to ship for this week. Shipping was apparently not affected by Columbus
Day or Thanksgiving (Canada).

Just some tidbits from George at the recent Canadian Comic Expo:
- Mike Perkins will be inking him on Titans: Games, since George was so
impressed with the results of their previous collaborations. The pages
already inked by Al Vey will see print as they are.
- George said that when the convention was over, he would draw his
contribution for Astro City: A Visitor's Guide. (The book is scheduled for
release on October 13th.)
- He drew 2 covers and 5 interior pages for the cancelled Sojourn/Lady Death.
For years, Astro City has been a
favorite destination for readers. This fall, DC Comics/ WildStorm
Productions will acquaint new readers (and reacquaint longtime fans)
with Kurt Busiek's rich world with Astro City: A Visitor's Guide
(AUG040440, $5.95). Written by Busiek, the 48-page guide will showcase
the neighborhoods, businesses, sights, and colorful heroes of Astro
City with stunning illustrations by Brent Anderson & Ben Oliver,
George Pérez, Carlos Pacheco, Dave Gibbons, Michael Golden, Jason
Pearson, and others. In addition, the guide will contain a special,
all-new, eight-page story by Busiek, Anderson, and Ben Oliver, and will
serve as a set-up for the upcoming Astro City: The Dark Age
mini-series. Featuring a cover by Alex Ross, the book is set to ship on
October 13. Travelers seeking an early start to their journey in the
big city should be directed to DC's Astro City collections, including
the Confession TP (STAR08680, $19.95), Family Album (HC-STAR09778,
$29.95; TP-STAR09174, $19.95), the Life in the Big City TP (STAR08671,
$19.95), and the Tarnished Angel TP (STAR13461, $19.95), available from
