Ka-Zar the Savage #24

Ka-Zar the Savage #24 arrives in March 1983 with a cover by Armando Gil that crackles with raw energy — the blond, bare-chested Ka-Zar lunges forward with a knife raised, his sabertooth companion Zabu snarling at his side, while a blonde woman joins the fray against a cluster of helmeted soldiers on a blood-red background. Writer Bruce Jones and interior artists Bob Hall and Armando Gil back up that explosive visual promise with a story ominously titled "On Death and Dying...!" — suggesting the tension on this cover runs far deeper than a single skirmish.
