The Daily Page in Madison, Wisconsin talks to Mike Baron about the return of Madison’s own superhero, the Badger:
What makes Madison a good venue for Badger stories?
Madison is, ah, an eccentric village with many eccentric denizens. Wisconsin in general has a wealth of lore: Paul Bunyan, the hodag, Ed Gein, the giant muskie — oh honey, don’t let me commence!What’s your connection to Madison?
Born in Madison. Graduated from West High School — only my senior year — I grew up in South Dakota. Graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in political science. And a fat lot of good it’s done me. Moved to Boston after graduation, moved back in ’77, lived in Madison through 2003, and will probably return there.

The Badger has always been a great quirky book with loads of inside pop culture jokes, off the wall agendas and smart dialogue. With the new Badger collections out from IDW Publishing I think a lot of other people are finally gonna get the chance to step into the crazy Kung Fu world of The Badger.
