Ka-Zar #9

Part two of the "Urban Jungle" arc finds Ka-Zar tangling with a massive, monstrous opponent atop what appears to be a city fixture — a striking image that makes clear the Lord of the Hidden Jungle is very far from the Savage Land. Shanna is caught up in the violent struggle, her fiery red hair trailing as the combatants clash in a dramatic three-figure composition rendered with real kinetic energy by cover penciler Andy Kubert and inker Jesse Delperdang. Mark Waid's story promises the kind of culture-collision tension that comes naturally when a man raised among prehistoric beasts tries to navigate a very different kind of wilderness.
