Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Badger is a comic created by Mike Baron, originally published by Capital Comics in 1983 and then moving to First Comics with issue #6.The Badger, otherwise known as Norbert Sykes, is a Vietnam war veteran and vigilante with multiple personalities. The one most dominant is the Badger, but the others include Max Swell, nine-year-old Emily, and Pierre. The persona of the Badger is Norbert's coping mechanism for his PTSD.Norbert works as a bodyguard for Hamilton "Ham" Thorndyke, a 5th century druid who was put into a coma by the rest of the wizarding community and woke up in the 20th century. Also employed by Ham is Daisy Fields, a clinical psychologist, who acts as his secretary when not providing therapy for Norbert.The series tends to be tongue-in-cheek while also providing occasional biting political commentary.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })No connection to the BBC show Badger.

Blood Magic: Ham's magic relies on blood sacrifices. He used to use people, but now he sacrifices animals.

comment
Author Tract: The last issue of First Comics' Badger run - a Christmas Episode - has Mike Baron delivering several less than subtle messages about his political views. Many of them are put in Santa Claus' mouth.

Camp Gay: Originally Max seems to have some attraction to women, but later on in the first volume and in succeeding Badger comics he's outright said to be gay.
