Buddy

Howard Chaykin brought Buddy to life in 1994 as part of Malibu's Power & Glory, a sharp, stylish series that arrived at the height of comics' Modern Age ambitions. Though Buddy's catalog footprint is small — just three appearances — the company is anything but: this character shares pages with a vivid cast including Belladonna, Avis Catlett, Vanessa Cheng, Michael Gorski, and Vaughn Robillard, the kind of ensemble that signals a richly layered world. Chaykin's work has always crackled with attitude and sophistication, and Power & Glory is a title that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into the era's more daring corners.
