Badger: Zen Pop Funny-Animal Version

Mike Baron’s offbeat superhero Badger got a surreal, all-ages makeover in this short 1994 Dark Horse series, reimagined as a talking animal in a cartoony, pop-art universe. With art by Matt Haley, Steven Butler, and Val Mayerik, the two-issue run leans into playful, Zen-infused humor while keeping the character’s signature eccentric charm. It’s a curious, fun detour for Baron’s creation, offering a lighter take that stands apart from the main series.
