Who is Tor?

Tor is a prehistoric human warrior created by Joe Kubert, set in a savage world one million years ago. He navigates a dangerous primordial landscape filled with wild beasts and tribal conflict, embodying early humanity's struggle for survival.

Few comics characters can claim a debut as audaciously titled as One Million Years Ago #1, but Tor burst onto the scene in 1953 under the masterful pen of Joe Kubert, a Golden Age creation steeped in prehistoric adventure. Kubert's passion for this character is the stuff of comics legend — he returned to Tor again and again across an extraordinary span stretching all the way to 2020, a testament to just how compelling this primordial figure proved to be. Over the decades, Tor has kept remarkable company, sharing pages with icons like Superman, Batman, and Hawkman, lending him a crossover cachet that bridges eras and publishers. For collectors drawn to Golden Age originals with genuine longevity and a creator's lifelong devotion, Tor is absolutely worth seeking out.
