Carson Napier
Carson Napier made his comics debut in the Bronze Age pages of Korak, Son of Tarzan #46 (1972), brought to life by the creative team of Len Wein and Frank Thorne — a pedigree that speaks to the era's rich pulp-adventure spirit. Rooted in Edgar Rice Burroughs' beloved planetary romance tradition, Carson has shared the four-color world with none other than Tarzan himself, which tells you something about the rarified adventuring company he keeps. His catalog appearances span a remarkable 48 years, finding a dedicated modern home at American Mythology Productions in titles like Carson of Venus: Realm of the Dead and Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan / Carson of Venus. For fans of classic Burroughs heroics and the enduring appeal of swashbuckling science fantasy, Carson Napier is a character well worth seeking out.
