		Kurt acknowledged that they’d be announcing the final return of ASTRO CITY (yes!), but no news on ARROWSMITH (for now).
		Kurt acknowledges that the Powersurge event (seven one-shots introducing the team members) hit the DC market at a time when the consumers had been special event/special purchased out.
		Kurt’s a writer by profession, so it’s no surprise that he was able to put his pitch to folks who gave up on the series in one paragraph.

	Kurt Busiek
		Kurt Busiek gave the world Vampirella after ten long years, and for that he has to be one of the influential writers to add to the list.
		Busiek weaves the Warren mythos created by Archie Goodwin into this set of stories, matching the old with the new admirably.
		Busiek covered the entire Morning in America series, closing the loop of Vampirella's return and opening the door to the major revelations that were to follow in Vampirella's Color Series in 1992 and 1993.

	FUNERAL FOR A FRIENDSHIP, or
		Busiek frequently complains in interviews that no one in comics is blazing any new trails, but him running the most critically acclaimed recycling mill in the industry isn't exactly breaking new ground, either.
		Kurt has gotten much better at not throwing monster tantrums like the ones he used to on the rare occasions that a roleplaying referee actually found the balls to rule against him and not be argued out of it, but, well, it's only a surface change.
		However, Kurt's casual denigration of my feelings for Annie, and the attendant implication that she and I never had any sort of friendship but that, in fact, I simply had a one-sided fixation, is contemptible and vile.

	Science Fiction Cool Stuff
		This story—written by Kurt Busiek (of Marvels and Astro City fame) and illustrated by rising star Stuart Immonen—is not set in the customary superhero universe of the Superman comics.
		Busiek focuses his tale on someone from Kansas who happens to share the famous name of Superman's secret identity, Clark Kent.
		Busiek, though, brings to this subgenre unwavering honesty, a complex emotional palette and a Bradburyesque sense of the magical and the wondrous.

	TwoMorrows Publishing - Kurt Busiek Interview - Kirby Collector Thirtyfirst Issue
		KURT: All we had to work with was a single drawing Kirby had done of four kids in odd costumes, with the name "Teenagents" written on it.
		KURT: Knowing Steve, it'll probably be very Kirbyesque in its look; and we're certainly informed by the Lee/ Kirby take on the character as much or more than by the Norse legends I used to love to read when I was young.
		KURT: I can't say I'm actually consciously trying to keep Kirby's contribution to those characters in mind, so much as just keeping them in character according to their long and storied histories, something Kirby's a part of, but not the totality of.

	Metroactive Books \| Astro City
		Busiek is one of the more vivid writers of superhero comics today.
		Busiek's challenge in the long run, having set up the plot, is to reconcile the two halves of the city: the sparkling good neighborhoods and the bad parts of town around the cathedral and Bruiser's bar.
		Busiek and his studio have so far been good in setting up a sense of place in Astro City.

		Busiek and Stuart Immonen volunteered to inaugurate the Gorilla imprint with a new series set to debut in April.
		More surprising, however, is the fact that Busiek and Immonen's Superstar, the only Gorilla project to make it into the public eye in any form, won't be part of the imprint's launch.
		Busiek's decision to cut his monthly writing chores nearly in half recently was widely reported, and fueled speculation that the long-awaited introduction of Gorilla was imminent.

		As a story that, Busiek said, "spawls over a fair amount of time," the writer told us how the members of the Justice League featured were chosen.
		See, I think Kurt Busiek is a natural for working in the DC Universe since there's so much older, untouched material out there.
		I'm very happy about Kurt Busiek and Ron Garney becoming the regular creative team on JLA, but I have to say it's also going to be great to see Dan Green's inks on a frequent basis as well.

		Kurt Busiek's Astro City is one of the most distinctive books not on the market today.
		Kurt Busiek's Astro City issues #14-20 compose a single story that has since been collected in a trade called "The Tarnished Angel".
		Busiek (along with artists/designers Alex Ross and Brent Anderson) has created an entire superhero universe here, and part of the fun of reading the issues is picking out the cameos and the tantalizing glimpses of heroes and villains Busiek and Co. have yet to fully explore.

	BookBag@theLogBook.com \| Kurt Busiek's Astro City - Life In The Big City
		There are many smart people in comics who argue that the superhero genre is totally spent, stuck recycling old stories and old archetypes and doomed to tell superficial power fantasies, no matter how much the hot new creators of the moment try to dress them up.
		Kurt Busiek's Astro City proves these critics wrong.
		But Busiek made the story work, because I think he really believed in that character and the answers she found for herself, in a way that invites us to rethink our notions of 'progress.' That's just one example of how Busiek makes use of the metaphorical nature of this project.

		If he has a dazed look on his face when you see him, it's either bafflement at his good fortune or exhaustion at all the deadlines that these projects entail.

	STL COMICS - Thoughts From the Land of Frost - THE KURT BUSIEK INTERVIEW - by ALEX NESS
		Among the people I have been asked to interview by readers and fans of his has been Kurt Busiek and really if you look at any of my online archives it is rather clear that he is a very large talent who as of yet had not been cornered and forced to answer my questions.
		Kurt Busiek: They wouldn't find many of my letters in the 1980s -- I was a letterhack largely in the latter Seventies, and stopped before I broke in in 1982.
		As one editor told me, if they saw a Busiek letter in the pile, they knew that they could use that, at least, even if most of the mail was incoherent.

	Untitled Document
		Kurt Busiek fresh from his acclaimed Marvels limited series was going to take the title back to its roots and bring back everything that made this title a fan favorite in years past.
		Of special interest to this website was their use of the character of Wonder Man who writers sacrificed years before to a publicity stunt of a new title launch and who Busiek and Perez brought back into the fore front of the series for the first few years.
		We had the pleasure of interviewing Kurt Busiek right after his last issue came out after an almost 5 years stint as writer of the Avengers title.

	The Comic Treadmill: Kurt Busiek's Astro City 1-5 (1995)
		To the contrary, part of beauty of this series was the way Busiek balanced between delivering characters and stories and leaving enough unexplained to keep the reader’s curiosity spinning.
		But that’s okay, because Busiek is looking to tell stories about a world/city full of super heroes and the ordinary people that inhabit it and the reader’s familiarity with the super types being used eases the reader’s transition into Busiek’s world.
		But Busiek managed to gain my confidence that he was going somewhere with every one of the characters and concepts he threw out in these issues.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Kurt Busiek's Astro City: Life in the Big City - Kurt Busiek - Paperback
		Kurt Busiek, Alex Ross (Illustrator), Brent Anderson (Illustrator), Brent Eric Anderson (Illustrator)
		Busiek and collaborator Brent Anderson take the concepts of super-heroism that we are already familiar with and break them down until nothing is left but the most vital components of the genre.
		Once the concept of the superhero has been refined to its core elements, Busiek uses these distilled ideas as his foundation and builds the world of Astro City up into something wonderful, a fresh new take on a long-established tradition.

		This is the first volume of a superb new alternate history series by Busiek (Astro City).
		Busiek's script hits all the right notes, and prose fantasy writer Lawrence Watt-Evans, as "alternity consultant," helped build the world's background and history.

		And a question for Kurt: I remember you saying once that you didn't care that much for the Conan comics when they first came out (you were more interested in the superhero comics), and that it took you some time to warm up to them.
		Busiek is one of the best writers around today so the outlook for this book is very positive.
		I`d like to try Kurt Busiek`s first issue of Conan,I`m curious to see his take on the character.I`ve never read the Conan comics,but I did watch the cartoon series.
