Zatama

Emerging from the fertile Bronze Age Marvel storytelling of Don McGregor and Rich Buckler, Zatama made their debut in Jungle Action #7 (1973) — part of one of that era's most celebrated and socially ambitious runs. Sharing the page with icons like Black Panther, T'Challa, Monica Lynne, W'Kabi, and Taku, this character is woven into the rich tapestry of Wakandan drama that made Jungle Action a landmark of 1970s comics. With appearances also in Planet of the Apes and a collector-significant key issue to their name, Zatama may be a compact presence in the catalog — just six appearances — but every one of them lands in distinguished company worth seeking out.
