Description

Ka-Zar is having a midlife crisis. He’s wondering whether to give up the jungle life and head for the comforts of modern civilisation. He parts ways with Shanna for a time to try to find Zabu, who has uncharacteristically wandered off. After a journey that lasts for days, Zabu’s trail leads Ka-Zar to a vast new land beyond the Savage Land’s boundaries, which he’ll eventually learn is called Pangea. He meets a woman named Leanne, who owns a female pet sabre-tooth. After rescuing her from some savages, he learns that she is the queen of a large medieval city called Lemura. They have a brief affair, but she breaks up with him because she feels he’s too uncivilised to live happily in her city.

  • Ka-Zar The Savage #1
    • Starting with this issue, Ka-Zar is portrayed with a radically different personality from his previous portrayal. A flashback in Ka-Zar the Savage #5 will later explain this change in characterisation
    • As revealed in Marvel Fanfare #3, soon after Sauron was reborn in Marvel Fanfare #2, first Ka-Zar and Zabu, and then Shanna, vanished from the Savage Land. Unknown to anyone in the Savage Land, their disappearance was because they had discovered and entered Pangea
    • Since Tongah was alive and well when Sauron was reborn, the flashback in Ka-Zar the Savage #5 (in which both Ka-Zar and Zabu appear) must take place between Marvel Fanfare #2 and this issue
    • The name of Queen Leanne’s city is spelled inconsistently, initially as “Lamura” but later as “Lemura”
