Night Man

Malibu Comics' Night Man stepped onto the scene in 1994, a creature of the Copper/Modern Age who found his footing in the wild, ambitious universe Malibu was building at the time. Debuted by James Hudnall and Scott Benefiel in The Solution #13, he went on to anchor his own series and play a pivotal role in the sprawling Phoenix Resurrection saga — no small feat for a character from a publisher swinging for the fences against the Big Two. He keeps genuinely interesting company, sharing pages with Malibu stalwarts like Prototype, Mantra, and Johnny Domino, placing him right at the heart of that short-lived but passionate corner of comics history. If you have a soft spot for the scrappy, creative energy of mid-'90s independent superhero publishing, Night Man is exactly the kind of character worth tracking down.
