The Ferret

Prowling out of the early 1990s Malibu Comics scene, The Ferret is a Copper/Modern Age creation by Paul Robb who debuted in 1991 and carved out a niche in that scrappy, adventurous era when independent publishers were pushing bold new characters onto the stands. With appearances spread across Protectors, The Savage Dragon, and Street Fighter, this character moved through some genuinely exciting corners of the Malibu universe, sharing pages with the likes of Drake Stevens, Aura, Man of War, Airman, and Nightmask. The catalog run is compact — but it includes a collector-recognized key issue, which means The Ferret left a mark worth tracking down. For fans digging into the rich, often underappreciated world of early-'90s Malibu Comics, The Ferret is exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes the hunt worthwhile.
