Ka-Zar (David Rand)
David Rand is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The first character to bear the Ka-Zar name, he was created by writer Bob Byrd, and first appeared in the pulp magazine '' Ka-Zar'' #1 (October 1936).

Publication history The second Ka-Zar started as a character similar to the first Ka-Zar, but also reminiscent of both Tarzan and of writer-artist Joe Kubert's 1950s caveman character, Tor. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in ''The X-Men'' #10 (March 1965), he lives in the dinosaur-populated Savage Land, which was hidden beneath Antarctica by extraterrestrials. The character was based on his pulp magazine namesake only to the extent that he used the same name and rough "jungle lord" concept, and Lee later admitted that he had never even read any of the original Ka-Zar stories.
