Astro City is Kurt Busiek's own private superhero universe. He writes. Alex Ross and Brent Anderson design the characters; Alex does the covers and Brent does the interior art (in v2, with the aid of inker Willie Blyberg). It's complex, thoughtful, intelligent, enjoyable, heroic, and one of the best books on the market. Read it.
