Ka-Zar #5 (1981)

Auto-conclusive flashback episode where Ka-Zar tells Shanna a sad story of his past, involving the native Savage Land settlement, his sabretooth "friend" Zabu and a rabies outbreak.

Clearly because an editorial mistake, the artistic credits are missing in this issue. A quick search in Google solves the mistery: written by Bruce Jones and pencilled by Brent Anderson. In 1981, Jones already had a long experience on writting for Warren magazines, free of infamous Comics Code Authority restrictions, and it is noted in the inherent maturity of his script for this Ka-Zar episode. While Zabu remains missing, a crazed specimen of sabretooth is attacking people of the settlement, resulting in deaths from direct aggression as well as deadly infections from a mysterious contagious disease that Ka-Zar soon identifies as rabies. Ka-Zar fears the infected animal is Zabu, anyway he joins the expedition to hunt the beast. Conclusion: the raged tiger (who finished eaten by a t-rex) was not Zabu, but Tongah, the hunting partner of Ka-Zar gets infected and he has to accept his upcoming death.

The story is narrated in a melancholic mood, where Brent Anderson's dramatic style of drawing bodies (with a touch of homoerotic sensuality) has an inportant role. A good handful of relevant subjects are touched in very few pages: the relationship hierarchy between a person, his beloved pet (kinda…) and other humans, the confrontation between beauty and cruelty present on virgin nature, the conveniences and inconveniences about renouncing to civilized world…

This adult tone makes exteme contrast with tons of advertisment pages oriented to kids. The dissonance between the "supossed vs. actual" readers of comic-books was already strong in 1981. Specially funny and idiosyncratic the ad/mini-comic where Fantastic Four advertise candies.
