*Marvel: Our first visit to the Good Doctor Collection this week features the debut of Ka-Zar, strongly tipped to appear in a forthcoming X-Men film set in the Savage Land. Apart from a shared name and attribute of being ‘Lord of the Jungle’, there was little similarity between the Ka-Zar of Marvel’s Golden Age and the character introduced in X-Men #10. Unlike his predecessor, this Ka-Zar ruled over the Savage Land and had Zabu, a big pussycat of a sabre-tooth, as his companion. Ka-Zar has, of course, gone on to become a fixture of the Marvel Universe, with several of his own series under his belt; the long association of Marvel’s Merry Mutants with the Savage Land also started right here. This is a lower-graded cents copy with moderate wear (getting towards heavy along the bottom edge, right corner and lower right edge. Small upper spine split (2-3 cms) with tiny piece missing at top. Small deposit of something stuck over Ka-Zar’s right ankle. Staples are firmly attached, page quality quite creamy and reasonable. Delightful ‘MMMS Wants You’ box bottom right cover.
