Jean Paul M'Butu

Howard Chaykin brought Jean Paul M'Butu to life in 1994 as part of Malibu's Power & Glory, a sharp, stylish series that arrived at the height of comics' Modern Age ambitions. M'Butu moves through a world populated by a striking cast — Belladonna, Avis Catlett, Michael Gorski, Vanessa Cheng, and Vaughn Robillard — the kind of ensemble that signals Chaykin was crafting something with real texture and intrigue. With only a handful of catalog appearances, M'Butu is a rare find for collectors drawn to Chaykin's distinctive, politically charged storytelling and the bold experimentation that defined Malibu's line in its prime.
