Ghoul

Born into the turbulent mid-90s boom of independent superhero publishing, Ghoul made their debut in 1995's The Phoenix Resurrection (American Entertainment Edition) #0, a Malibu Comics event that brought together some of the publisher's most compelling figures. Created by J. Smith and R. Haynes, this character moves through a world populated by the likes of Prototype, Mantra, and Johnny Domino — a roster that speaks to the ambitious, interconnected universe Malibu was building at the time. Ghoul's story plays out across The Phoenix Resurrection and its Aftermath chapters, making this a character tied to one of the imprint's notable crossover moments. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Ghoul is a genuine rarity for dedicated Malibu collectors hunting the corners of a fascinating, underappreciated era in comics history.
