Astro City, book 2: Confession
Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson et Alex Ross1997

The world of Astro City is an internationally-famous world of wonders — of noble superheroes and sinister villains. But the city has a darker face, one that's only seen after sundown.

And it's that city — a city of shadows and monsters, where nothing is quite what it seems — that teenaged Brian Kinney encounters when he arrives in town with dreams of becoming a hero himself. To realize his dreams, he'll have to learn to understand this dark city — or risk being lost forever in its shadows...
