Who is Ka-Zar?

Few characters in Marvel's Silver Age carry the primal magnetism of Ka-Zar, who crashed onto the scene in The X-Men #10 in 1965, conjured by the legendary duo of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Over an extraordinary six-decade publishing life — stretching from 1965 all the way to 2026 — he's proven himself one of Marvel's most enduring figures, racking up 235 catalog appearances and earning collector recognition in ten key issues across series like Astonishing Tales and his own self-titled book. He keeps remarkable company, sharing pages with icons like Spider-Man, Captain America, and Peter Parker, and his bond with the loyal Zabu is one of comics' most iconic partnerships. With a history this rich and a run this long, Ka-Zar is an absolute must for any serious Marvel collector.
