Om-Ra

Born into the sword-and-sorcery world of Marvel's Bronze Age, Om-Ra made their debut in the very first issue of Kull, the Conqueror in 1971 — a launch crafted by the legendary Roy Thomas and Ross Andru that helped bring Robert E. Howard's brooding Atlantean king to the Marvel Universe. Sharing those ancient, torch-lit pages with figures like Brule, Councilor Tu, and King Borna, Om-Ra inhabits a richly imagined prehistoric world of court intrigue and savage adventure. Though their catalog footprint is small, the character's presence across titles spanning five decades — from Kull and the Barbarians to the handsome Kull the Savage: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus — makes them a genuine piece of Marvel's sword-and-sorcery heritage worth tracking down for any fan of the era.
