☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
Tanya Anderssen tracks down Warren Worthington III with a shocking revelation: her lost love, Karl Lykos, is alive in the Savage Land. With Jameson demanding a scoop, Peter Parker joins the expedition, unaware of the danger awaiting them. Once in the jungle, Spider-Man and Angel are captured by the Mutates and brought before the enigmatic Brainchild.
In "To Sacrifice My Soul...", Spider-Man and Angel are horrifically transformed by Brainchild and sent to clash with Ka-Zar and the Fall People in the heart of the Savage Land. When Tanya Anderssen is captured and subjected to the same fate, the desperate attempt to reverse the mutation unleashes a shocking transformation that leaves Sauron in control—leaving Spider-Man and Angel to flee with the fate of the land hanging in the balance.
In "Into the Land of Death...", the X-Men plunge into the perilous Savage Land in a desperate hunt for Sauron, only to be overwhelmed by the Mutates. Trapped and scattered, the team is broken apart—only Angel remains free as the others are taken to face Sauron and Zaladane in a deadly confrontation.
In "Lost Souls," with the X-Men imprisoned by Sauron, Angel teams up with Ka-Zar in a desperate bid to free them, venturing deep into the Savage Land’s perilous heart. As the rescue unfolds, the fate of Sauron—once Karl Lykos—hangs in the balance, even as Xavier believes his cure has finally broken the villain’s hold.
