Crash-landing near Astro City in late 1985, he learned how to master and channel the empyrean forces that had suffused his body -- finally learning to control his powers in time to prevent the destruction of the Space Shuttle Challenger, the event he had been sent to avert. He described himself to journalists as nothing more than 'a Good Samaritan', and has continued to help his fellow man in Astro City ever since.
John JG Roshell has also been struggling with the empyrean challenge of fitting all of Kurt Busiek's ASTRO CITY dialogue into balloons with the regular Samaritan font, so he created the Samaritan Tall font to help his fellow comic book letterers! It's kinda the same thing, really.
Font Family:
· Samaritan Tall Lower Regular
· Samaritan Tall Lower Italic
· Samaritan Tall Lower Bold
· Samaritan Tall Lower Bold Italic
