About the series
Mantra, published by Malibu Comics from 1993 to 1995, reimagined the superhero genre through a bold, metaphysical lens. The series follows a male sorcerer reborn in the body of a female superhero, exploring identity, power, and destiny across its 24-issue run. Written primarily by Mike W. Barr and Steve Englehart, with dynamic art from Terry Dodson, Robb Phipps, and Jason Armstrong, Mantra stood out in the early ’90s for its thoughtful take on gender and magic within the shared Ultraverse universe.
