Brad Bradley

Born in the pages of a 1982 Fantagraphics underground-flavored debut, Brad Bradley is one of those Bronze Age creations who found his real home in the alternative comics renaissance — turning up across Neat Stuff and the beloved Hate, the flagship series that made Fantagraphics a countercultural landmark. Over roughly fourteen years he shares panels with the extended Bradley clan — Betty, Buddy, Babs, and Butch — alongside Lisa Leavenworth, a cast that gives his world a lived-in, scrappy family energy. With fifteen catalog appearances including one collector-significant key issue, Brad is a quiet piece of the alt-comics puzzle that rewards the dedicated digger.
