American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Debut of Ka-Zar and Zabu in X-Men #10
*Marvel: The name Ka-Zar was first used in pulp magazines of the 1930s, and then re-invented in the Marvel Silver Age (with a different identity) as Marvel’s shameless rip-off of Tarzan, right down to his alter ego in the English nobility. And the Savage Land (a regular feature of X-Men continuity from then on) was an unabashed homage to an Edgar Rice Burroughs lost realm. One should not forget that X-Men #10, as well as featuring the debut of Ka-Zar, was also the debut of Zabu, his cute pet Sabretooth. This nice pence copy has minor edge wear, a few spine ‘ticks’ and a small crease at top logo, with a diagonal crease across bottom right corner, colour-breaking but relatively unobtrusive; there is also a very small pen mark above the logo. Nevertheless, it has good staples, great page quality and presents very well.
