Gonar

Few characters carry the weight of ancient mystery quite like Gonar, a figure who stepped out of the Bronze Age of comics in 1979, conjured by the legendary team of Roy Thomas and John Buscema in the pages of The Savage Sword of Conan. Rooted in the sword-and-sorcery tradition that Marvel championed so boldly in that era, Gonar moves through a world of primal kingdoms and mythic warriors, sharing the page with titans of Robert E. Howard's sprawling universe — Kull, Bran Mak Morn, Brule the Spear-Slayer, and Cormac of Connacht. His presence across more than four decades of publication, from 1979 all the way to 2021, speaks to a quiet but enduring place in Marvel's heroic fantasy canon. With appearances collected in the handsome Kull the Savage: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus, Gonar is a rewarding discovery for any collector who loves the deep, shadowed corners of Howard's mythology.
