Black Badge

Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson introduced Black Badge into the rich, character-dense world of Astro City back in 2004, and this Modern Age creation has persisted in that beloved Image universe for over two decades. With only eight catalog appearances, Black Badge is a rare, intriguing presence — the kind of figure that dedicated Astro City devotees prize precisely because every panel counts. Sharing pages with icons like The Silver Agent, Jack-in-the-Box, and Quarrel speaks to the caliber of the world this character inhabits, one of superhero comics' most thoughtfully crafted fictional cities. For collectors who love discovering the deeper corners of Busiek's Astro City tapestry, Black Badge is exactly the sort of find worth chasing down.
