History: (Kurt Busiek’s Astro City I (Image) #1) - The Honor Guard held a meeting in their floating headquarters, where they compared notes on their enemies, including who was active, who was in jail, and who had disappeared. They also fixed their alien detector, which had been malfunctioning ever since the Zonn attacks. The Honor Guard emergency signal went off, and they stopped the Menagerie gang from robbing Astrobank, and took a few moments to receive appreciation from the adoring public.

(Kurt Busiek’s Astro City I (Image) #3) - Quarrel was out on patrol when she was spotted by low level crook Andrew Eisenstein. Eisenstein had stumbled upon Jack-in-the-Box’s secret identity, and was terrified that Jack knew and was after him, causing him to freak out every time he saw a crimefighter.
