Description: ASTRO CITY: LIFE IN THE BIG CITY trade paperback. "Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards Winner, 1996Welcome to Astro City, a shining city on a hill where super heroes patrol the skies. Each chapter in this collection is a standalone story, highlighting different aspects or characters in the Astro City world...The city’s leading super hero tries to be everywhere at once, and berates himself for every wasted second as he longs for just a moment of his own. A smalltime hood learns a hero’s secret identity, and tries to figure out how to profit from the knowledge. A beat reporter gets some advice from his editor on his first day on the job. A young woman tries to balance the demands of her family with her own hopes and desires. Despite the fantastic settings, the characters in these slice-of-life stories feel like real people, and that gives the stories real power.Collects issues #1-6 of ASTRO CITY." I believe it's a first printing, but I can't find a clear indication in the indicia. The copyright is 1995 so I assume it's that edition. I really liked Astro City at the beginning when I started it but I couldn't catch up with the rest. I didn't read this, but I'm sure it's great! I have another Astro City HC on here (if they haven't already sold). If you need better pictures, let me know what detail you want to see and I’ll take a better one. I will absolutely combine orders! Win more than one lot and I’ll put them together and it’s less to ship and less for you to pay. Once all your auctions are done and you’re done bidding (and if it doesn't offer this automatically) I'll send you an invoice that will have the revised shipping. (It may take me a couple days if I’m not working on eBay listings when they close, but you can also send me a message to say that you’re done bidding and ready for them to be shipped.) Buy more to save more! I don’t mind waiting for payment if you’re buying more than one lot. I’m open to whatever form of shipping you want, and I can adjust the price by sending you an invoice. (I’ll send them via Media Mail if you don’t say otherwise, and by default I will send all orders to the same address if they can be combined.) I don’t have a business. I’m on here to get rid of stuff I’ve had in storage for a while. It’s a lot of great stuff from my personal collection that I’ve loved over the years but it’s also a lot of stuff and it’s time. Usually I sell comics on here (a lot of from the late ‘80s to the early ‘00s). I'm just about finished with Dark Horse, Image, indies, Vertigo, mainstream DC & non-superhero Marvels, now it’s mainstream Marvels (next Avengers & Avengers-related, including Black Panther, then later Captain Americas, Spider-Mans, and a lot of Daredevils) after that. I’m a reader so the runs I offer might be inconsistent by book, with single issues often replaced by a trade or collection, but it’s likely a full run to serve reading. I’ll consider best offers, especially if you want to buy more than one lot. If the formatting of the text in this box looks sloppy, it happened after I posted it. When I wrote this it all looked fine and consistent but eBay mangles it with HTML after. Hopefully you don't pay attention to these things (though thanks if you read this far), but I do and this is ghastly to me but I have too many of these to post to go over (and it shouldn't have changed in the first place). Let me know how you're liking the issues! Keep in touch!marlanharris dot com
