Malibu’s “Ninja Elite” series, 1987. Malibu was THE Indy comic power-player in the 1980s. Many remember their superhero Ultraverse line (with Prime and Hardcase), which started in 1993 and was mostly the brainchild of Steve Englehart, maybe the most underrated but intriguing of the “new superhero universes” of the 1990s (at least Valiant is remembered fondly; people remember Prime but not the cohesive superhero world). However, Malibu had been in existence a half decade before, publishing adventure comics like Ninja Elite. Marvel Comics eventually bought out Malibu for the most pedestrian reason imaginable: to get their computer colorization technology. -- source link
