Zoar

Zoar is a great mystical eagle spirit connected to Arak, Son of Thunder — a Native American warrior raised among Vikings. The sacred bird is tied to Arak's divine heritage and destiny as a warrior, serving as a powerful spiritual symbol of his identity and power.

Swooping out of the Bronze Age skies, Zoar made their debut in DC Comics Presents #47 in 1982, brought to life by the legendary creative pairing of Paul Kupperberg and Curt Swan. This DC character has proven surprisingly durable, with a publishing history stretching across nearly four decades and appearances spread across titles as varied as Arak / Son of Thunder and All-Star Squadron — a range that speaks to a genuine versatility within the DC universe. Two of those 24 catalog appearances carry key-issue status, making Zoar a quiet collectible gem worth tracking down. Along the way, Zoar has shared pages with some genuinely iconic company — He-Man, Skeletor, Teela, Man-at-Arms, and King Randor among them — lending this character a wonderfully eclectic corner of Bronze Age DC history that rewards the curious collector willing to dig in.
