Lot #261: "Prime #7" Comic Book -- 1996 Malibu

"Prime #7" is a modern-age superhero comic book published by Malibu Comics in April 1996. This issue is part of the second volume of the Prime series, which continued after the "Black September" event that reshaped the Ultraverse following Marvel's acquisition of Malibu. The story is written by Gerard Jones and Len Strazewski, with interior art and a cover by Scott Kolins and Dennis Jensen. In this installment, titled "The Ultrax Scourge Part 2: Black and White Make Grey," the narrative follows the young Kevin Green as his powerful alter-ego, Prime, continues his pursuit of a dangerous new street drug called Ultrax that grants temporary superhuman abilities. The plot features a significant guest appearance by the vigilante Solitaire, who joins forces with Prime to track the drug's distribution from the streets of Washington, D.C. to the higher levels of political influence. This issue is noted among Ultraverse collectors for its sharp Scott Kolins artwork and its role in the final year of the original Malibu continuity. Dimensions: 26 cm Pickup category timeslot {A}
