Description

In 1995, Marvel tried to resurrect the Malibu Ultraverse
under their ownership. They launched “Black September”,
an attempt to bring some of the characters into the
corporate fold while visually tying each of the series
together by giving them a solid black cover.

At the same time, because black ain’t all that, they also
issued covers with actual art on them for those same issues.
For the few who are looking for them, the drawn covers are
more difficult to find. (Since the resurrection, um... died,
not too many collectors care.) This is the cover for "Mantra:
Infinity." It features the first appearance of Lauren Sherwood,
teenaged babysitter, as the new Mantra.

Did I mention that Ultraverse fans hated the new Mantra? Oh,
they hated her hard.

Crash and burn
Black September Marvel line
How'd they get so desperate?
Keep Mantra alive?

Help me, please
Burn this cover from my eyes
Oh, Ultraverse alive again
Just lay down and die!

Hey, hey
You know what to do
Oh, baby, drive away from Malibu

Get art soon
Price won't go any higher
How are you so burnt when
You're barely on fire?

Brand new Dave Roberts
Jim gonna rescue you
Jim Amash Infinity tonight, inky
Pour over me

Hey, hey
We're just jealous of you
Oh, Mantra, fly away to Malibu
Bought out by Marvel
And let them swallow you
This is history, yeah, in Malibu

And the clock goes down
The auction's underway
And the clock goes down
I watch it slip away
And the clock goes down
I watch you bid away
And I would

And I knew
Love would win you your art
Oh, and I knew
This darkest secret of your heart

Hey, hey
I'm gonna follow you
Oh baby, bid away
Yeah, it's Malibu

Oceans of Ultras
Oceans of stars
Tentacle piece is where you
Drown your swords

Never read Sherwood
The art just radiates
Never read Sherwood
The girl just babysits
