Ka-Zar the Savage #15

The cover of this June 1982 Marvel issue pulls you right into the action: a fierce, golden-haired woman in leopard-print raises a sweeping sword while Ka-Zar himself crouches defensively at her side, a fallen blade at his feet and a robed figure watching ominously from the left — all while warriors close in from a platform above. That story title, "A Lovely Day for an Execution!", promises exactly the kind of pulpy, Savage Land tension that made this series such a pleasure, with Bruce Jones writing and Brent Anderson's dynamic cover art delivering an image full of danger and movement. If you enjoy adventure comics with vivid jungle atmosphere and genuine stakes, this one has a lot to offer.
