The Badger #1
"Precipitation" kicks off The Badger #1 (1983) with a striking blend of mysticism and modern oddity, introducing Hamilton Thorndyke—aka Ham the Weather Wizard, a 5th Century Druid—alongside the titular Badger and therapist Daisy Fields, all connected by their time in a mental institution. Written by Mike Baron and illustrated by Jeff Butler, with colors by Les Dorscheid and letters by Mary Pulliam, the story finds the trio forming an unlikely alliance after their release, with Ham taking the lead as their employer. Steve Rude’s dynamic cover captures the series’ quirky, offbeat energy.
