This new collection starts with a look back at ASTRO CITY's past in a special 20th anniversary issue. It all began with Samaritan's dreams of flying-but what is he dreaming of now? Then, a suburban family must face a terrifying alien invasion in "The Menace from Earth." And finally, the spotlight turns to Steeljack-from "The Tarnished Angel," one of ASTRO CITY's most popular stories-and how he's been getting by the last few years. When he's hired by a femme fatale from his past, he'll wind up in deep trouble with no one to turn to. Collects ASTRO CITY #26, 29-30 and 32-34.
