Black Adder

Few characters capture the spirit of independent superhero publishing quite like Black Adder, who slithered onto the scene in 2012 courtesy of creators Gary Carlson and Sterling Clark in the debut issue of National Guardians. A Modern Age original from Big Bang Comics, this character has carved out a niche across the National Guardians and Big Bang Universe titles alongside a colorful cast that includes The Badge, Lady Jane Pyxington, and Ramm. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Black Adder is a true collector's find — the kind of character that rewards readers who dig into the corners of indie superhero publishing where passion projects shine brightest.
