This first Astro City volume looks at a day in the life of the Samaritan, the worlds busiest super-hero; an invasion of underground dwellers that is thwarted by the super-team the Honor Guard; a small-time criminals growing paranoia as he comes to believe that the colourful hero called the Jack-in-the-Box is after him; plus stories introducing the First Family, the Hanged Man, Winged Victory, and many others.

When Ruby redecorates, attempting to bring a sense of modernity to Belfry Manor, Count Max becomes furious, extolling the virtues of the ancient vampiric ways. Refusing to own a skel-a-vision, a scar-e-o or a VCR, Count Max flies the coupe, literally, and Ruby and Orson seek refuge at Scary Godmother's house. While Orson and Hannah discover the wonders of Valentine's Day, everyone else sojourns to the Slaughtered Lamb pub and discovers that true love is not found in singles bars. Will Count Max and Ruby reconcile? Will tradition outweigh the influence of the modern world? In a place where everyday is Halloween, is there room for Valentine's Day? Thompson's unique black and white art and hilarious use of pun and innuendo make this story fun for all ages.
