Axl

Emerging from the mid-'90s indie comics scene, Axl made their debut in Bad Moon #1 (1995) from Italian publisher Xenia Edizioni — a reminder of just how vibrant and far-reaching the Copper/Modern Age boom truly was. With only seven catalogued appearances, Axl is a rare find, the kind of character that dedicated collectors love to track down, sharing the pages of Bad Moon alongside a colorful cast including Michael Sloane, Bad Moon, and the ominously named Kindy Killer. If you're drawn to the road less traveled in comics history — the international undercurrents running beneath the mainstream — Axl and the world of Bad Moon are well worth your curiosity.
