Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Opens The Door For This Underrated Marvel Hero

Of course, there's one particular thing about Ka-Zar that may very well rustle a few feathers. As The Guardian notes, the "white protector of the jungle" trope is a pretty unfortunate one in this day and age, so the blond-maned, distinctly Caucasian comic book incarnation of the character would probably not be all that well-received. Even though the comics version of Ka-Zar is an English lord called Kevin Plunder, Marvel Studios and Disney should already be acutely aware that keeping things comic book…

Conan’s Owner Asks Who You’d Like To Write, Draw, Colour Conan Comics

| Yesterday, Bleeding Cool ran the news breaking out of Lake Como Comic Art Festival, that Marvel Comics would no longer have the Conan The Barbarian license for comics, as the license was reverting back to its original owners, Cabinet Entertainment, who plan to publish their own Conan titles. I reported; Marvel published Conan comic books in the seventies, eighties, and nineties based on the Robert E Howard stories, and licensed from his estate. Dark Horse Comics published them in the noughtiues and teens, with Marvel…

Dell’s Answer to Batman, the Owl in Crackajack Funnies, Up for Auction

| In between helping to pioneer the modern comic book with The Funnies and Famous Funnies, and becoming a juggernaut best known for Disney comic books, Dell Publishing made a brief excursion into superheroes along with the rest of the comics industry during the Golden Age.
