Ka-Zar the Savage #31

Paul Neary's cover for this April 1984 Marvel issue drops Ka-Zar and a red-haired woman — both armed with daggers — into a swirling battle against enormous yellow reptilian creatures, with an alien cityscape of towers and domed structures stretching across the background. The composition is all kinetic chaos: clashing scales, snapping jaws, and two warriors refusing to yield. With a story title like "But I Don't Want to Go Back to the Savage Land!", this issue promises the kind of reluctant-hero tension that makes Ka-Zar the Savage such a satisfying read.
