M'Bulaze
Debuting in the pages of Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #9 in 1985, M'Bulaze is a Bronze Age DC character whose place in the universe was considered significant enough to earn a spot in comics' most ambitious character reference work, courtesy of writer Len Wein. With only a handful of catalogued appearances spanning a surprising 25 years, M'Bulaze is the kind of deep-cut discovery that rewards the curious collector — a figure who shares the page with luminaries like Green Lantern, Impala, Black Canary, and Green Arrow. Rare doesn't mean unworthy; for fans who love unearthing the corners of the DC Universe that most readers never explored, M'Bulaze is exactly the sort of intriguing find that makes digging through back issues such a joy.
