Ka-Zar: 1971

Diversions of the Groovy Kind has graciously shared with us a copy of a 1971 Ka-Zar adventure.  For those who might not know, Ka-Zar was Marvel's version of the "jungle man" hero best exemplified by Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan.

Anywho, this particular adventure takes place in Ka-Zar's home, the Savage Land (a sort of, "land that time forgot") hidden away in Antarctica.  The SL is populated by all sorts of prehistoric animals and weird evolutionary hypotheticals (e.g., the "lizards who walk like men," "man apes," etc.) 

What really makes this particular story engaging is the plot.  It presumes that in 1971, World War II was still raging in this hidden land as a result of Nazi and Allied seamen who were both stranded in the strange land.  

Like most comics from the era, it doesn't take long to read and the artwork is super-cool!  I strongly recommend you give it a read.  Ole Groove make turn me into an avid Ka-Zar fan if he keeps this up. (Something that my Tarzan-loving grandfather would probably be quite happy to see.)
