Here's a page from Malibu Comic's 1994 Mantra series, starring the sexy, sultry sorceress of the same name. This page is a one of a kind, original art pieces ,that the comic book was printed from. Art area is 11 1/4" X 16 3/4", (on a 12" X 18" piece of white two-ply bristol board, preprinted with non-photo blue Malibu margin grids) hand-drawn with pencil, pen and brush, finished in india ink. All were penciled by Mark Heike ( Best known for his long run as illustrator/editor on AC Comics, drawing such features as Femforce, Nightveil, Ms. Victory, etc., as well as working on features like Star Wars, Xena, Warrior Princess, Star Trek, Lady Justice, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Magneto and Wolverine.) and inked by either Larry Welch , Ken Branch or Jim Amash. Mantra was, of course one of the first big "good girl art" female glamour heroines to come out of the great independant comics explosion of the early '90s, and was one of the flagship characters of the Malibu Ultraverse. These lovely examples of pin-up style comic art showcase Mantra in both her standard costume, and the temporary "techno armor" she wore for a short time, show her brandishing her deadly weapon, the "Sword of Fans"

Who Are the Heikes?

Mark G. Heike is best- known for his long association with AC Comics and especially his sexy girl artwork on the famous Femforce long running comic book, as well as comic book art in the 80's and 90's for publishers like Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, Big Entertainment, Chaos, Malibu, Top Cow and more, on features like Star Trek, Star Wars, Xena, She-Hulk, X-Men, Mantra, Nexus, Lady Justice, Aliens vs. Predator, TMNT, Bad Kitty, Witchblade and many others.

She also has a creator owned series, 21st Centurions.
She is currently working on Superbabes.



Mark and Stephanie also have lots of other original pages and sketches, both published and unpublished, on a variety of characters- with "good girl art" for AC Comics a specialty.

is there any schedule or pattern as to what or when you're posting?

I’m scanning it as I get to it. Sorry it’s so random.


Some we don’t have artwork to (Bongo, Calgary Stampede) or sold quickly (various Star Wars series from Dark Horse.)


Mark and I don't do many conventions at all (maybe one or two a year) and even then we don't have ALL the originals at the cons. What you’re seeing here are mostly pages we’ve never had for sale anywhere.

Any possibly allergic substances on your artwork?

We have a cat and we eat peanuts. If you're allergic to cats and/or peanuts, we urge caution! (but our cat does not eat peanuts..)


We don't know for certain about most of the freelance work, but I will mention if the art smells funny. One of the pencillers, Brad Gorby was definitely a smoker but we only have a few items of his work left.

I have a question, 'kay? But I'll email your husband at the office and annoy him about your shop instead of asking you..

Um..yeah, whatevs, dude. Sure, you can annoy Mark and make his day just that much longer and and make the comic books that much later, but that isn't going to make prices any cheaper.
