Rare Breed

Tiny Chrysalis Studios introduced Rare Breed in late 1995, with the series lasting just two issues before it blipped off the comic industry radar.

The premise is standard stuff: a group of dysfunctional super-heroes united by a similarly troubled leader to go out and fight terrorists around the globe. Like the movie, The Dirty Dozen, all the “good guys” are wanted by the law, and a big part of the incentive to join this super-team is the promise of a presidential pardon after they serve for a year. They also receive a small, five million dollar stipend.

The team is composed of Antonio Manetti (Ammo), your basic mercenary type; Pamela Christensen, a clairvoyant genius with multiple personality disorder; Chris St. John (Ravager), an American Indian vampire; Valentina Alexa Anderson (Swede), a femme fatale secret agent; and Mustafa Nabutu (Ambush), a black albino hunter.
