Who is Thongor?

Thongor is a sword-and-sorcery barbarian hero adapted from Lin Carter's pulp-fantasy novels, set on the prehistoric continent of Lemuria. A fierce warrior-adventurer, he battles sorcerers and monsters in a savage ancient world.

Few Bronze Age warriors carry the weight of genuine sword-and-sorcery mythology quite like Thongor, who crashed into Marvel's Creatures on the Loose in 1973 courtesy of writer George Alec Effinger and artist Val Mayerik. Born from the pulp-fantasy tradition that Marvel was eagerly mining during that era of barbarian adventurers, this brooding champion carved his path across Creatures on the Loose and The Mighty Barbarians, leaving a mark that — remarkably — stretches across fifty years of comics history. A modest but devoted catalog presence makes every appearance a genuine find for collectors who love the rougher, stranger edges of Marvel's Bronze Age frontier.
