Ultraverse

 

In the early 1990s both Marvel and DC Comics had some serious competition on their hands. Other publishers entered the market and threatened to take away their readership.

One such company, Malibu Comics, had a huge plethora of characters and the creators and production expertise to take up the challenge.

When the comic book speculation glut hit and then collapsed many new comic book publishers were stuck with huge inventories and bills. Most went out of business.

Malibu Comics held on just long enough to be bought by Marvel Comics-not for its characters but for its color technology and location on the West Coast.

This happened in the early 1990s and none of the Malibu characters have been seen since. Skybox put out a 115 Card set of Malibu character Ultraverse Trading Cards that also included two Ultra Cards.

It came in its own little box colorfully decorated with Malibu characters on both sides.

It’s too bad Malibu folded because it had an impressive roster of characters, good stories, great art and superb coloring.
