Lemon Custard

Mark Badger’s Lemon Custard (1998–present, Caliber Press) is a singular, self-contained comic—a single issue that distills the creator’s idiosyncratic blend of surreal humor and delicate, expressive linework. Badger, serving as both writer and artist, crafts a quiet, offbeat world where the everyday meets the gently absurd, offering a distinctive voice in the small-press landscape of the late 1990s. It’s a brief but memorable snapshot of a creator working entirely on his own terms, making it a curious artifact for fans of independent, auteur-driven comics.
