Background

OK, let's be honest. Ka-Zar owes a little something to Tarzan. A doctor, and an English Lord, he is also known as Ka-Zar of the Jungle. Making his home in the savage land with Shanna the She-Devil, he rides his sabre-tooth tiger, Zabu, and makes guest appearances nine times out of ten that anyone from Marvel Universe visits the Savage Land.

He had his own series in the 70's or 80's, which ran for a couple of years. Spider-Man was featured a couple of times, and in fact Ka-Zar came to learn of Spider-Man's true identity during that time. He has fought enemies such as Gog, Kraven the Hunter, Stegron and the terrifying Chicken-Cow.
