Savage Tales Featuring Ka-zar

Set in the Savage Land, Marvel's prehistoric jungle preserve, Savage Tales Featuring Ka-Zar was a single 1971 issue that paired writer Gerry Conway with the lush, detailed artwork of Barry Smith. This black-and-white magazine offered a grittier, more adult-oriented take on Ka-Zar and his sabretooth companion Zabu, distinct from the color comics of the era. It stands as a unique, early experiment in Marvel's magazine-format storytelling, showcasing the raw adventure of its untamed setting.
