Tumac

Set in the prehistoric world of the Amazon, Tumac follows its title character, a young warrior, through 24 issues of painted adventure published by Semic from 1978 to 1980. The series is distinguished by its lush, painterly art—credited to a rotating team of artists including Morris—which gives the jungle setting a vivid, almost fantastical feel. A striking entry in European adventure comics, it stands out for its atmospheric visuals and its focus on a single hero’s primal struggle.
