Ka-Zar '97

Marvel’s 1997 one-shot Ka-Zar teams writer Brian K. Vaughan with artist Walter McDaniel for a standalone adventure starring the jungle lord. The issue follows Ka-Zar and his sabretooth companion Zabu as they confront threats in the Savage Land, showcasing Vaughan’s early work before his celebrated runs on Y: The Last Man and Saga. A brief but notable entry from Marvel’s late-’90s output, it captures the character’s pulp heritage with a modern sensibility.
