Ja

Emerging from the subterranean adventure of DC's Bronze Age, Ja made their debut in Weird Worlds #2 in 1972, brought to life by Len Wein and Alan Weiss drawing on the legendary pulp world of Edgar Rice Burroughs. A figure rooted in Burroughs' classic hollow-earth mythology, Ja keeps remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of David Innes, Ghak, Abner Perry, Dian, and even Tarzan himself — placing this character squarely at the heart of DC's ambitious early-'70s embrace of Burroughs' literary universe. Though appearances in the catalog are rare, that scarcity only adds to the appeal for collectors drawn to the exotic, pulp-flavored corners of Bronze Age comics, where prehistoric wonder and high adventure ruled the page.
