Basil

Basil is a supporting character in the fantasy world of James Tynion IV's Wynd, a close companion to the young protagonist Wynd and part of a tight-knit group of friends navigating a world hostile to those deemed different or magical.

Basil made their debut in the pages of Wynd #1 from Boom! Studios in 2020, stepping into one of the Modern Age's most talked-about fantasy series right from the very first issue. Across nearly two dozen catalog appearances spanning Wynd, Wynd: The Power of the Blood, and Wynd: The Throne in the Sky, Basil has proven to be a consistent presence in a richly imagined world — sharing adventures with the likes of Wynd, Prince Yorik, Oakley, Thorn Cherrywood, and Titus. It's a compelling ensemble, and Basil holds their own within it. For readers who've fallen in love with Boom!'s ambitious fantasy storytelling this decade, Basil is absolutely a character worth tracking through every chapter of this sprawling saga.
