DESCRIPTION

Jack Kirby cover/art; 1st SA app of Ka-Zar & Zabu; Introduction of Savage Land; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)Ka-Zar's debut with Timely Comics preceded the creation of Superman by two years, but the jungle hero was almost forgotten by the start of the '60s. Then this issue of X-Men returned the Savage Land's ruler to the spotlight--thanks in large part to .outstanding art from Jack Kirby and Chic Stone. The mutants first head into the secret dinosaur-populated domain to determine if Ka-Zar is one of their own kind. An explosion of action ensues once the X-Men land, with the team battling the Swamp Men and a variety of dinosaurs with assistance from Ka-Zar and his saber-tooth tiger Zabu. Fortunately for Ka-Zar, the fans responded with enough fervor to once again establish the longtime icon as a Marvel superstar.
Artist Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
