Badger, Mark – American Flagg #37 p.14 - $175

This page by Mark Badger is a fantastic display of the gritty, kinetic energy that defined his run on this series. By using white paint to enhance the textures and effects, Badger gives the sword fight a raw, tactile feel that traditional inking alone couldn't achieve, and adds a layer of visceral intensity to the fighting shown throughout the page!

The dense, experimental linework helps make the close-quarters combat feel frantic and high-stakes, especially as the dialogue touches on themes of power and resource control. It is a great example of the bold, stylistic choices that made American Flagg such a standout title, even after Howard Chaykin left, turning a standard fight scene into something that feels uniquely atmospheric and modern.
