Badger

In the late 1990s, Mike Baron brought his offbeat, martial-arts vigilante to Image Comics for an 11-issue run that leaned into the character's irreverent, psychedelic roots. With art by Mike Norton, Matt Roach, and Michael Avon Oeming, this series follows the Badger—a former mental patient who believes he's a superhero—through a chaotic landscape of absurdist humor and violent action. A cult favorite from the creator of Nexus, Badger stands as a prime example of Image’s early willingness to publish unconventional, creator-owned superheroics.
