Ultra-Marine

A product of Marvel UK's ambitious early-'90s expansion, Ultra-Marine debuted in Dark Guard #1 in 1993, brought to life by the formidable creative pairing of Dan Abnett and Carlos Pacheco — names that would go on to shape comics on both sides of the Atlantic. This Copper/Modern Age character keeps striking company, sharing the pages of Dark Guard with the likes of Minion, Motormouth, and Shevaun Haldane in what was one of Marvel UK's most action-packed ensemble titles. Rare and distinctly of their moment, Ultra-Marine represents that bold, boundary-pushing spirit that defined Marvel UK's short-lived but passionate creative surge — a genuine collector's curiosity worth tracking down.
