Malachon

A creature of the Bronze Age Marvel cosmos, Malachon emerged in 1984 from the imaginative pages of The Saga of Crystar, Crystal Warrior — one of the more fascinatingly offbeat fantasy titles Marvel produced in that era. Brought to life by writer Jo Duffy and artist Ricardo Villamonte, this character inhabits a richly strange world populated by the likes of Warbow, Moltar, the sorcerous Zardeth, and Kalibar. With only a handful of appearances to their name, Malachon is precisely the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through Bronze Age back-issue bins such a rewarding adventure.
