The Badger #15

Bill Reinhold was the cover artist and did the interior pencils for The Badger #15 (September 1986). Mike Baron wrote the script titled "Enter The Wombat" while Ricky Bryant inked, Willie Schubert lettered and Linda Lessman colored. This issue finds Norbert Sykes in Sidney, Australia in search of a Thylacine (Tasmanian tiger). He meets up with the Wombat, who is protecting the bush where the beast roams.

"The New Regime" is the title of the Zoomtown bonus story written by Mike Baron, penciled by Graig Brasfield, inked by Brian Thomas, lettered by Willie Schubert and colored by Ron Courtney. Chastity becomes the new leader and puts women in charge of everything in the community. This does not set well with Gear, the former leader, who leaves Zoomtown.

The Badger #12

I have read a several issues of The Badger from First Comics over the years. The issues were #14, 19, 36, 43, 48 and 63 for those that would like to know. I like this series because Norbert Sykes, a Vietnam veteran, suffers from multiple personality disorder and the urban masked vigilante known as the Badger is just one of them.

Bill Reinhold did the cover of The Badger #12 (June 1986) that features Norbert crashing into a window while Hodag puts the moves on Daisy (Lord Weterlackus looks on in the background). He also penciled the interior art along with Rick Stasi. Mike Baron, who also created the series, wrote the script titled "Red Snow" while Keith "Kez" Wilson inked. Linda Lessmann was the colorist and Willie Schubert was the letterer.

This issue also features an untitled Zoomtown backup story written by Mike Baron, penciled by Ron Wagner and inked by Gary Martin.
