STRAIGHT FROM THE SAVAGE LANDS COMES KA-ZAR MASTERWORKS!

Beyond the cold Antarctic wastes, in the depths of a secret hidden jungle, Ka-Zar rules the Savage Land. Populated by dinosaurs, barbarians and saber-tooth tigers, this land that time forgot is threatened from beyond its borders – by enemies including Kraven the Hunter and madmen still fighting World War II – and from within – by the bizarre Garokk the Petrified Man and the sun-priestess Zaladane. These adventures, the origin of Ka-Zar and Zabu, the introduction of the monstrous Man-Thing, and more await you!

Featuring stories never before collected, this inaugural Ka-Zar Masterworks not only features action, drama and excitement, but a bona fide who’s who list of top comics industry talent. From Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith to Gil Kane, John Buscema and Neal Adams, it’s masters of comics storytelling all in one fantastic collection!
