General Ramiero de Lobos

A menacing presence in the pages of Malibu's Stealth Force, General Ramiero de Lobos made his entrance in 1987 — right in the thick of the Copper Age's explosion of bold, independent comics publishing. Created by Mike Valerio and Patrick Olliffe, he shares the page with a cast of compelling figures including Major Duke Cragg, the mysterious Hannah Bashevis, and the shadowy Nikolai Androvich, suggesting a world of high-stakes intrigue where generals and operatives collide. His appearances may be few in the catalog, but characters like de Lobos are exactly the kind of richly named, atmospheric villains that give indie action comics of the era their distinctive flavor — well worth a closer look for any collector hunting the overlooked gems of Malibu's early lineup.
