![]() ![]() Kelley Jones drew “Foot Soldier.” I hope to work with Kelley on the Badger again. ![]() Ron Lim had a long, notable run on Badger, illustrating one of my favorite stories, the Nazi Nun saga. His last commercial work was for the Badger anthologies published by IDW. I have asked Neil repeatedly to come back but he is wedded to this project and says he isn’t sure he can draw anymore. I consider Neil one of the greatest masters of comic book illustration I’ve ever encountered and yet today he does not draw, he holes up in a Canadian log cabin writing a vast philosophy on the nature of faith and reality. Neil Hansen (“Spyder,” “Bannen”) is another notable Badger illustrator. ![]() Bill’s art achieved apotheosis on the two part “Roach Wrangler” story which he inked himself. I saw Bill Reinhold’s work and asked him to take over, initiating a long and satisfying run. Jeff was slow and we wanted to go monthly. I got the idea from The Minds of Billy Milligan by Daniel Keyes (Flowers For Algernon.) Since then, the psychiatric establishment has decided that multiple personality syndrome doesn’t exist, but is a mere manifestation of a psychopathic mind wishing to avoid responsibility. ![]() Norbert Sykes, the core personality, is a dull fellow. The others include Emily, a little girl, Gastineau, a tough-inner city black, Pierre, a homicidal Frenchman, Max, a gay architect, and Leroy, a dog. Badger is a multiple personality only one of whom is a costumed crime fighter. ![]()
