About this Collection

This collection reprints the 1987 Marvel Fanfare storyline where Spider-Man finds himself stranded in the Savage Land, a prehistoric jungle hidden in Antarctica. Teaming up with Ka-Zar and Shanna the She-Devil, Spider-Man faces off against the villainous Belasco and his demonic forces in a tale that blends jungle adventure with supernatural elements. The volume also includes additional Marvel Fanfare stories featuring characters like the X-Men and Doctor Strange from the same era.

In "Fast Descent into Hell!", Chris Claremont teams with Michael Golden for a pulse-pounding chapter in the Savage Land saga, where Brainchild's twisted experiments turn Angel and Spider-Man into monstrous foes. With Tanya captured and transformed, Lykos makes a desperate move to save them—only to unleash a new threat as he becomes Sauron. The cover by John Buscema captures the chaos, as Ka-Zar and the Fall People face the escalating horror.
