Moltar

Moltar is a character from Marvel's fantasy series <em>The Saga of Crystar, Crystal Warrior</em>, set in a world divided between crystalline and magma-transformed warriors locked in arcane conflict — placing Moltar among the lava-based forces opposing Crystar's crystal champions.

Moltar stepped onto the page in 1983 as part of Marvel's Bronze Age gem The Saga of Crystar, Crystal Warrior, brought to life by the creative team of Mary Jo Duffy and Bret Blevins in a series that blended fantasy adventure with the vivid imagination of the era. Sharing that richly imagined world with the likes of Crystar, Ogeode, Zardeth, Koth, and Lord Feldspar, Moltar is woven into one of Marvel's more distinctive fantasy tapestries — a world of crystalline warriors and arcane conflict that has proven surprisingly durable, resurfacing across three decades in titles as varied as Toyfare: The Toy Magazine and the fan-favorite Weirdworld. With a publishing footprint stretching all the way to 2016, this Bronze Age original is a rewarding discovery for collectors who love digging into Marvel's more adventurous corners — proof that the House of Ideas was never afraid to dream in strange and spectacular directions.
