In this new Astro City collection, the spotlight falls on Quarrel and Crackerjack as they face a real crisis: What does an aging crimefighter do when time starts to take its toll? Plus, a look into Quarrel's origins--and the end of the line for one of Astro City's most stalwart heroes. And what's a talking gorilla to do when he's always wanted to be a drummer in a rock and roll band? That's right, he goes to Astro City. But from there, well, things are never all that simple. Kurt Busiek's critically acclaimed series continues here in Astro City Vol. 12. Collects issues #18-21 and #23-24.
