I never realized Ka-Zar was from the Golden Age! I've never seen any of his oldies reprinted. Are they really horrible or something?
Billy, the Golden Age Ka-Zar stories aren't bad...they're just rather unremarkable. The character (Ka-Zar, David Rand, very similar to Tarzan) originated in a pulp magazine published by Martin Goodman (who also owned Timely Comics) so the character was adapted for the comics. I don't think they've ever made any attempt to try to bring the Timely character into any sort of continuity with Marvel Earth-616, but I'm not as up on my Ka-Zar (Kevin Plunder) stories as I should be, so I'm not certain.
