Mustapha Cairo

Mustapha Cairo is a supporting character in Mark Schultz's Xenozoic Tales, set in a far-future Earth where humanity has emerged from underground shelters into a world reclaimed by prehistoric creatures. He appears alongside Jack Tenrec and Hannah Dundee in this post-apocalyptic adventure series.

Mustapha Cairo made his entrance in the pages of Xenozoic Tales #2 in 1987, born from the singular imagination of Mark Schultz during the Copper Age of comics — a period rich with creator-driven storytelling and bold new worlds. He inhabits the gloriously strange Xenozoic setting, sharing adventures with iconic figures like Jack "Cadillac" Tenrec and Hannah Dundee across Xenozoic Tales and its Marvel incarnation Cadillacs & Dinosaurs. His catalog footprint is modest, which makes each of his appearances a genuine find for collectors who love digging into the deeper corners of a beloved cult universe. If you're drawn to the offbeat charm of Schultz's prehistoric-meets-retro-future world, Mustapha Cairo is exactly the kind of character worth tracking down.
