Karl Malone: The Mailman (1998 Allstar Arena Entertainment). Written by Karl Malone & Brett Lewis with art by John Paul Leon.

Very rare and hard to find indie comic about the infamous basketball star as a superhero. From my understanding these were only available to the public through game concession stands, or they maybe have been given away for special events. "Karl "The Mailman" Malone - With 36,928 points and two MVPs under his belt, Karl "The Mailman Malone is one of the NBA's greatest power forwards. His strength and size gave him the advantage to tower over his opponents on the court. Malone was also fast and released deadly mid-range jumps when needed. Due to his immense popularity, Allstar Arena Entertainment grabbed the opportunity and wrote a comic book for him. Karl Malone is the Mailman was written by none other than Karl Malone and Brett Lewis. Published in 1998, it only ran for one issue and subsequent issues weren't released. To date, it's still one of the most coveted comics by collectors.
