![]() ![]() When we were working on The Complete Hate, I mainly just thought about how much times have changed since 1990. And because of that, I haven't thought about what he would do or say. ![]() I haven't drawn Buddy Bradley at all in 10 years. Publishers Weekly: Have you considered how Buddy would handle living through a pandemic? In honor of its release, PW asked Bagge what was it that made Bradley one of alternative comics’ most enduring characters. ![]() The Complete Hate will be released November 24 and collects the full run of the series for the first time. By the end of Hate’s 30-year run, Bradley, much like Bagge himself, had settled down, and was raising a family in a scrap metal yard. Over 30 periodical issues and nine annual collections, Bradley aged in real time, while holding a managerie of unlikely jobs, from music promoter to memorabilia dealer. Portrayed living in 1990s Seattle (and later suburban New Jersey), the surly but lovable anti-hipster (along with a memorable procession of trashy roommates and raunchy girlfriends) became an accidental icon of the burgeoning grunge music scene. ![]()
