Ka-Zar #4

Ka-Zar takes his Savage Land instincts to an entirely different kind of jungle in issue #4 of this 1997 Marvel series — as the cover tagline "Hey! It's Your Friendly Neighborhood — Savage-Man?!" makes wonderfully clear. Andy Kubert and Jesse Delperdang deliver a dynamic cover image of the long-haired, loincloth-clad Ka-Zar leaping across a dizzying urban skyline, knife in hand, looking every bit as fierce among city skyscrapers as he would among prehistoric beasts. Mark Waid's story, "The Concrete Jungle," promises an irresistible collision of two worlds, and this kinetic cover sets the tone perfectly.
