Back in the early 70s, Marvel's production man Sol Brodsky teamed with former Super Comics publisher Israel Waldman to produce a line of black and white and color comic mags under the ingeniously-named Skywald Publications (get it? Brodsky and Waldman? Skywald? Sheesh.) The company's biggest successes were a trio of cheap-o horror mags in the mold of Warren's Creepy and Eerie called Nightmare, Psycho, and Scream (aka the Horror Mood line edited by "Archaic"Al Hewetson--more on all of that in a future post), but they also produced some experimental material in their black and white and color lines, like today's subject, a pretty cool Tarzan rip-off created by Golden/Silver Age great Gardner Fox and self-publishing pioneer Jack (the First Kingdom) Katz called Zangar, who appeared as the only all-new feature (the rest of the mag was Golden Age jungle comic reprints) in all three issues of Jungle Adventures (December, 1970-March, 1971). Since there were only three issues of JA, it stands to reason that Zangar only appeared in three tales, right? And you, you lucky Groove-ophile you, are gonna get to plant your peepers on 'em right now!
