Zazu

Zazu is the prim, officious majordomo to King Mufasa in Disney's The Lion King, serving as royal herald and reluctant babysitter to young Prince Simba. Dutiful to a fault, he keeps order in the Pride Lands with flustered determination.

Few characters embody the flustered charm of royal service quite like Zazu, the prim and dutiful majordomo who made his comics debut in Disney's Action Club #2 in 1997, brought to the page by writer Michael Gallagher and artist José Delbo. Rooted in the Modern Age, this Lion King stalwart has kept remarkably distinguished company across nearly three decades of comics, sharing adventures with the likes of Mufasa, Simba, Nala, and the villainous Scar. His appearances span titles from The Lion King to Disney Villains: Scar under Dynamite Entertainment, making him a small but consistent thread in the tapestry of Disney comics adaptations. If you're building out a Lion King collection, Zazu is one of those delightful supporting presences who quietly ties the royal Pride Lands together on the page.
