The Lengths Issue 1 – compelling and dark stuff……

The Lengths Issue 1 By Howard Hardiman I’ve loved Howard’s work since first getting hold of Badger; his adorable all-ages work dealing with a very, very sad and very lonely Badger. But his new series The Lengths couldn’t be further from that if it tried. The Lengths is a story of the world of male prostitution, of [...]

You may recall that I have a great fondness for Howard Hardiman’s Badger comic (here, here and here). And I described it thus: “This tale of a lonely little badger living all alone in his London flat is heartbreakingly, tearjerkingly sad.
