Carter Tauron and Goliath Khonn by Joseph Gilbert Thompson and Carl Edward Thompson
Secret Origins of Maveric Comics.
Chapter One
Carter Tauron -a blonde haired a Carson Napier type comic strip really got off the ground, began as my attempt to create and write a Edgar Rice Burroughs style adventure-a sword and planet story, otherwise known as a planetary romance in the same as John Carter, Warlord of Mars or the Carson of Venus series. Originally, I wanted to copy the Mike Kaluta Carson of Venus comic strip that was serialized in the back of DC Comics Korak series. Being into Joe Kubert's Tarzan series, I read Korak, Weird Worlds, that featured John Carter-which the books I was reading as well. I was into the whole Conan series at Marvel-reading all their Robert E.Howard based material from Conan to Kull, Red Sonja and Solomon Kane. I was even reading the knockoff shit such Colonel Travis Morgan, the Warlord at DC Comics and fucked Conan rip offs like Claw the Unconquered. By 1974 or 1975,I had already created my Toreus Warrior 2140 –about a hero-a barbarian type, who traveled around in a sub shuttle, guided by a emerald jewel called a Guider Gem, that was linked a computer, hidden somewhere on earth, now called Terra II, guided the Thuvian Warrior and two companions Athena –a raven haired pirate-similar to Belit-Queen of the Black Coast and Boggs-huge, gentle giant, patterned after Fafnir of the Conan comics, to humanities lost storehouses of treasure-ancient knowledge and lost artifacts-machinery, guns, medicine-whatever. And this way, Jack Kirby and Steven Gerber created that hockey haired idiot Thundarr The Barbarian for Ruby Spears and put that animated turd on Saturday morning tv. Toreus Warrior 2140 after four issues became a series, that later became Toreus The Slayer and slightly altered-a sub shuttle disappeared and Captain Toreus’s two companions became Antillus Sojat and Notahk. This series now more resemble Conan and Hyborean Age, but was stilled somewhere hundreds or thousands of years after Earths Nuclear War. Still series now off the ground and running-at least by me; I decided creating another hero soon followed. Before Carson Tauron toyed around a spin off series of the Toreus Warrior 2140 series, called Carson Thuron-about a man from our era-thousands of years before the Nuclear Wars that created the savage world of Terra II... Thuron, was a hero, sort of blonde haired Tarzan, with a spear and pistol or rifle-dressed not similar as Ka-Zar at Marvel, in a loin clothe. Carson Thuron, was kind of a mountain type, after woke up in Captain Toreus’s era, his jump suite, torn to shreds, by some savages, who attacked, sort of Astronaut George Taylor of the Planet of the Ape movies became, his heroic barbarian costume. Carson Thuron would travel around his brave, savage new world, trying to right wrongs, fight evil, and like Toreus, bring humankind from savagery to civilization.
I had great plans for Carson Thuron, unfortunately, nothing became the idea. By the time, I was reworking my Toreus series, into Toreus The Slayer-a name barrows from Marvel Comic series Skull The Slayer-about some Viet Nam vet, lost in another world, fighting dinosaurs and such-see below, the whole Carson Thuron never got off the ground. I simply, did have or want to the hero any longer. I do now, from time to time, wish to resurrect the Carson Thuron concept, place around the time of Toreus Starkiller concept and smack in all on the dysonsphere world of Terra-Prime, placing around the time of the Great Trongaroth Invasion series. Carson Thuron, world a man ,from ancient the Golden Era of the Sphere and wake from suspended animation, to see his ravaged by countless wars, the Dragon Wars, Nuclear Wars, the Great Cataclysm, when an asteroid Daedalus hits Terra-Prime and damages part of the Pangaean World to created the Shattered Empire of Panaea. This Carson Thuron, would pretty much the same except barrowing elements from Ka-Zar and the animated Ice Age, travel around a giant Prehistoric Capronean Saber-toothed Tiger and a Huge Wholly human intelligence level Neanderdar Thulean Mammoth.

He was attempting to find a way to remove the power belt which had recently been damaged and had altered his appearance. His skin had become transparent showing only a green glowing skelton. During this time, he had adopted the alias of the obscure Golden Age hero, the Blazing Skull. He crossed paths with heroes such as Quasar and Captain America, while a member of the team. Eventually, Doctor Druid was able to restore him to his normal appearance and he left the team. Sometime later, attempts to remove the belt caused him lose the youthful metabolism the belt provided. He gained weight and lost much of the physical shape the belt had kept him at over the years. While serving as a bodyguard, he met and had an adventure with Hawkeye.

[edit] Ka-Zar (David Rand)
(a) [edit] Publication history
The first, David Rand, was a typical "jungle lord" in the Tarzan vein, also known as Ka-Zar the Great, who first appeared in the pulp magazine Ka-Zar #1 (1936) from Manvis Publishing, one of many magazine companies owned by Martin Goodman. Writer-artist Ben Thompson adapted the pulp story "King of Fang and Claw" by Bob Byrd for Goodman's first comic book, Marvel Comics #1 (Oct. 1939). In the 2000s, the David Rand Ka-Zar was integrated into mainstream Marvel continuity, in the All New Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe.

(a) [edit] Publication history
The second Ka-Zar started as a similar character, but 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.
Originally written as a primitive and belligerent savage who spoke in broken English, Ka-Zar later became more articulate and civilized, although he retained a certain degree of distrust toward civilization and was generally wary of outside visitors to the Savage Land. Kevin Plunder refers to himself as the "Lord of the Savage Land", a phrase others have adopted, but this is not a formal title.
He has had four self-titled series (1970-1971 (three issues, mostly reprints), 1974-1977 (20 issues), 1981-1984 (Ka-Zar the Savage, 34 issues), and 1997-1998 (20 issues).
(b) [edit] Fictional character biography
Ka-Zar is Lord Kevin Reginald Plunder, born in Castle Plunder, Kentish Town, London, England. He is the eldest son of Lord Robert Plunder, the English nobleman who discovered the Savage Land. After his parents were killed, Plunder was found and raised by the sabertooth tiger Zabu, who possesses near-human intelligence thanks to a mutation caused by radioactive mists. Ka-Zar and Zabu are constant partners. Ka-Zar became an expert hunter, trapper, and fisherman, living off the wild land.
In the Savage Land, some territories are populated by several human or humanoid tribes, and while most of them are on friendly terms with Ka-Zar, some of them consider him an outlander and an enemy. He acts more like an unofficial general protector, preventing outside commercial exploitation, such as poaching and mining, as well as enforcing peace between tribes and serving as goodwill ambassador to friendly visitors.
The original X-Men discovered the Savage Land, and Ka-Zar encountered them, battling Maa-Gor for the first time.[1] He then encountered Daredevil for the first time, and battled his brother Parnival, who had become the supervillain called the Plunderer.[2] He then encountered the Hulk for the first time, and battled Umbu the Unliving.[3] Ka-Zar then battled Kraven the Hunter for the first time.[4]
After the Savage Land became known to outsiders after the visit by the X-Men, many people began traveling to the territory. Ka-Zar has also become romantically involved with female visitors, the first being S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Barbara Morse (who later became the Avenger named Mockingbird).[5] He first battled AIM, and then met the Man-Thing.[6] He then met Spider-Man for the first time, and battled the extra-terrestrial Gog.[7] He next met the adventurer Shanna O'Hara,[8] and later began a romance with her. He later battled Klaw, and first visited another dimension.[9] Later, he first battled Magneto's Savage Land Mutates.[10] He later teamed with the X-Men to battle Zaladane and Garokk.[11]
Ka-Zar later discovered that the Savage Land is a part of Pangaea.[12] He then battles Belasco for the first time.[13] He later marries Shanna, who has taken the name Shanna the She-Devil.[14] His brother Parnival was apparently killed during one of his schemes (though much later turned up alive).[15]
Ka-Zar has teamed up with several of Marvel heroes. The X-Men are recurrent visitors to the Savage Land and Ka-Zar has been a frequent ally, helping the mutant team defeat both inside and outside menaces such as Sauron and Magneto. He has met Spider-Man on several occasions, one of which involved stopping Stegron the Dinosaur Man from invading New York City with Savage Land dinosaurs. Ka-Zar has also assisted the Avengers in their attempt to repel the space conqueror Terminus, but while they rescued many natives, they were unable to prevent the destruction of the Savage Land. Ka-Zar was rescued by the Avengers, but left the Savage Land for the civilized world.[16] Together, they had a son, named Matthew. The territory was later reconstructed by the High Evolutionary using Garokk, and Ka-Zar and Shanna returned with their newborn and resumed their previous roles. [17] Ka-Zar and Shanna separated for a time,[18] but got back together before long. Ka-Zar fought and defeated Thanos in one of his many attempts to end life. Ka-Zar had a cameo in Alias, in which he asked Jessica Jones for her assistance finding Zabu.
(c) [edit] Powers and abilities
Kevin Plunder is an athletic man with no superhuman powers. He has developed a unique style of hand-to-hand combat developed by spending years surviving in the Savage Land. He has developed great skills in hunting, trapping, fishing, foraging, and general survival in the wild. He carries a 12" Bowie knife, and occasionally uses a slingshot, bow and arrow, and other primitive weapons as needed.
Section 3.05 [edit] Other versions
(a) [edit] Earth X
In the Earth X series, Ka-Zar (as well as Shanna) have been mutated by Plague X into humanoid saber-toothed tigers. They play an integral part in Universe X- leading Captain America and the reborn Mar-Vell to the gateway to Limbo, and helping the X-Men and Wakandan refugees escape the cannibalistic hordes of Wendigo.
(b) [edit] What If?
He appears in a What If story, where the Savage Land terraforming has taken over New York. He has a son, Matthew, but it is obvious that Zabu has been killed as his skull is seen on Ka-Zar's head. Both he and Parnival sacrifice themselves to return New York to normal, with Shanna the only survivor of his "family."
(c) [edit] House of M
Kevin Plunder appears in a short article in The Pulse: House of M Special Edition. The article explains that he has been granted asylum in the US and feature a picture of him alongside his faithful companion Zabu.
(d) [edit] Marvel Zombies
It is briefly noted in Marvel Zombies that a zombified Quicksilver managed to spread the virus to the Savage Land, infecting Ka-Zar and Zabu.
(e) [edit] Ultimate
Ka-Zar appears in his Ultimate form on the final page of issue #3 of Ultimates, along with Ultimate Shanna.
Section 3.06 [edit] In other media
(a) [edit] Television
Ka-Zar appears in the 1981 Spider-Man cartoon, trying to rescue Zabu from Kraven the Hunter in "The Hunter and the Hunted".
Ka-Zar appeared on the X-Men animated series in the episodes "Reunion" parts 1 and 2, and in "Savage Land, Strange Heart" parts 1 and 2.
(b) [edit] Video Games
Ka-Zar appeared in the video game X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse voiced by John Cygan.
Section 3.07 [edit] Trivia

Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines.The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.
· During the early 1980s, Marvel experimented with the then-new comic book specialty outlets by turning three of their monthly comic titles into "direct distribution only" titles. These comics were printed on harder paper stock than the newsprint commonly used for comics at the time, were removed from under the aegis of the Comics Code Authority, and were written and drawn with more mature, adult themes. They were only available via subscription or from a direct distribution comics specialty store. Ka-Zar was one of the three titles to receive this treatment (The other two were Moon Knight and The Micronauts).
· The Jungle Lord in Warren Ellis' Planetary is named Kevin Sack, a reference to Kevin Plunder.

Article IV. Sword and planet
Article V.
Article VI. Unlike the more peaceful aliens who dwelt on Mercury and Venus, Mars was home to numerous species, many warlike. Indeed, the accounts of Gustavus W. Pope's Journey to Mars (1894) and Journey to Venus (1895), in which a US officer visited an advanced Mars (and fell in love with a princess), then a prehistoric Venus; that of Lt. Gullivar Jones, as reported by Edwin Arnold in 1905, and finally that of the notorious John Carter (published only in 1912 by Edgar Rice Burroughs), left no doubt as to what mosaic of warring species the Red Planet was. But Mars was not home to only swordsmen, barbarians and princesses. It also housed vast intelligences, from the mysterious Eldils to the Great Brains, and others, who could not see the increasing encroachments of Earthmen and remain passive. Whatever secret treaties may have been initially negotiated by men like Nemo and Astor were undoubtedly bound to be broken, as had the treaties made with Native Americans in America a little earlier.

Sword and Planet is a subgenre of speculative fiction that features rousing adventure stories set on other planets, and usually featuring Earthmen as protagonists. Though there are works that herald the genre such as Percy Greg's Across The Zodiac (1880) and, most famously, Edwin Lester Arnold's Lieutenant Gullivar Jones: His Vacation (1905; published in the US in 1964 as "Gulliver of Mars"), the prototype for the genre is the classic A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs originally serialized by All-Story in 1912 as "Under the Moons of Mars." The genre predates the mainstream popularity of science fiction proper, and does not feature any scientific rigor, being instead romantic tales of high adventure. The genre tag Sword and Planet is constructed to mimic the terms Sword and sorcery and Sword and sandal. The phrase appears to have first been coined in the 1960s by Donald A. Wollheim, editor of Ace Books, and later of DAW Books at a time when the genre was undergoing a revival. Both Ace Books and DAW Books were instrumental in bringing much of the earlier pulp Sword & Planet stories back into print, as well as publishing a great deal of new, imitative work by a new generation of authors.
There is a fair amount of overlap between Sword & Planet and Planetary Romance although some works are considered to belong to one and not the other. In general, Planetary Romance is considered to be more of a Space Opera subgenre, influenced by the likes of A Princess of Mars yet more modern and technologically savvy, while Sword & Planet more directly imitates the conventions established by Burroughs in the Mars series.

[edit] Beginnings
In A Princess of Mars, John Carter, a Confederate officer and soldier, has taken up prospecting in Arizona after the war to regain his fortune. Under mysterious circumstances, he is transported to Mars, called Barsoom by its inhabitants. There he encounters savage and monstrous aliens, a beautiful princess, and a life of adventure and wonder. Burroughs followed up this first book with several more Barsoom stories, and another series that could be considered Sword & Planet, featuring as hero Carson Napier and his adventures on Venus. Burroughs' Pellucidar series could arguably be considered sword-and-(inner) planet, as it follows most of the plot conventions described below.
Section 6.04 [edit] Form
Burroughs established a set of conventions that were followed fairly closely by most other entries in the Sword and Planet genre. The typical first book in a sword and planet series uses some or all of the following plot points:
A tough but chivalrous male protagonist, from Earth of a period not too distant from our own, finds himself transported to a distant world. The transportation may be via astral projection, teleportation, time travel, or any similar form of scientific magic, but should not imply that travel between worlds is either easy or common. The Earthman thus finds himself the sole representative of his own race on an alien planet. This planet is at a pre-modern, even barbaric stage of civilization, but may here and there have remarkable technologies that hint at a more advanced past. There is no obligation for the physical properties or biology of the alien planet to follow any scientific understanding of the potential conditions of habitable worlds; in general, the conditions will be earth-like, but with variations such as a different-colored sun or different numbers of moons. A lower gravity may be invoked to explain such things as large flying animals or people, or the superhuman strength of the hero, but will otherwise be ignored. (A Princess of Mars, however, when it was first written did loosely follow the most optimistic theories about Mars - e.g., those of Percival Lowell who imagined a dying, dried-up Mars watered by a network of artificial canals.)
Not long after discovering his predicament, the Earthman finds himself caught in a struggle between two or more factions, nations, or species. He sides, of course, with the nation with the prettiest woman, who will sometimes turn out to be a princess. Before he can set about seriously courting her, however, she is kidnapped by a fiendish villain or villains. The Earthman, taking up his sword (the local weapon of choice, which he has a talent with), sets out on a quest to recover the woman and wallop the kidnappers. On the way, he crosses wild and inhospitable terrain, confronts savage animals and monsters, discovers lost civilizations ruled by cruel tyrants or wicked priests, and will repeatedly engage in swashbuckling sword-fights, be imprisoned, daringly escape and rescue other prisoners, and kill any men or beasts who stand in his way. At the end of the story he will defeat the villain and free the captive princess, only to find another crisis emerging that will require all his wit and muscle, but will not be resolved until the next thrilling novel in the adventures of...! A Sword and planet series never finds a final resolution, but continues until either the author or the publishers tire of it.

Stories in the Sword and Planet genre fall into two chronological classes. The first includes the stories of Burroughs himself and his early imitators, of whom Otis Adelbert Kline was the most significant. The second and larger group includes authors who began to write Burroughs pastiches from the mid 1960s to early 1970s. The genre is no longer used by most modern authors and seems to have come to a natural end; few works in this genre have been published since 1980, except for continuations of the drawn-out Dray Prescot and Gor sequences, and occasional parodies of earlier series.

Pirates of Venus by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., 1934
The Venus Series by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a science fiction series consisting of four novels and one novelette. Most of the stories were first serialized in Argosy, an American pulp magazine. It is sometimes known as the Carson Napier of Venus Series, after their fictional main character, Carson Napier. The novels, part of the Sword and Planet subgenre of science fiction, follow earthman Napier's fantastic adventures after he crash-lands on Venus, called Amtor by its human-like inhabitants. Most of the events of the series take place on the island of Vepaja, the kingdom of Korva on the island of Anlap, and the city-states of Havatoo and Kormor on the tropical continent north of Vepaja.
As is common in Burroughs' works, the hero is bold and daring, and quickly wins the heart of the Vepajan princess (or janjong) Duare, though class prejudices long inhibit her from expressing her love. Napier meets many varied peoples, including the Vepajans, refugees from an overthrown empire; the Thorists, thinly disguised communists who ran the Vepajans out of what is now the Thoran empire; pirates; the super-scientific eugenicists of Havatoo; the zombies of Kormor; the fascistic Zanis of Korva; and the hideous Cloud People.
He is a pirate (twice), he escapes from the dread Room of the Seven Doors, and he is finally made a prince, or tanjong, of Korva after the overthrow of the Zanis. He also rescues princesses from incomparable dangers innumerable times.

Section 165.03
//
[edit] Amtorian geography
Amtor is a verdant world shielded from the heat of the sun by a (nearly) perpetual cloud cover. The portion depicted, largely confined to the southern hemisphere's temperate zone (or Trabol, as it is known to its inhabitants), is primarily oceanic, but includes two continents and a number of large islands.
The main continent is Thora, extending also far into the tropical zone of Strabol and the arctic zone of Karbol -– possibly as far as the south pole. Several smaller land masses projecting into Trabol from Karbol appear to be peninsular extensions of Thora; these include Bombaj, Ator, Rovlap, Vodaro, and Vaxlap. Interspersed among these are the great islands of Ganfal, Malpi, Donuk, Movis, Nor, Anlap, Vepaja, Trambol, and Zanbo. The unnamed second continent is a largely tropical landmass north of Vepaja and west of Thora.
Amtorian vegetation, particularly on Vepaja, tends to be gigantic. Vepaja is notable for the enormous forests Napier first encounters upon his arrival, with trees reaching into the inner cloud envelope. Elsewhere, the geography of Amtor is more varied, and he also travels through a dismal pine forest, grassland plains, glacial valleys, and several mountain ranges.
Section 165.04 [edit] Amtorian culture
The human natives of Amtor are a generally inhospitable lot, often trying to murder Napier, kidnap his princess, or both. Their nations are rather loosely connected, partly because the geography is strewn with impassable mountains, impenetrable forests, and unnavigable seas (which Napier nevertheless passes, penetrates, and navigates), and partly because their maps are somewhat unusual. In spite of their relative isolation from each other, a worldwide language is current among all peoples. The level of culture runs the spectrum from savagery to advanced technology; some nations possess a longevity serum, atomic ray guns, and nuclear powered ships. Radio is unknown (the ships are reduced to communicating by flags), and there are no native aircraft; Napier designs and builds the first, based on Earth technology.
The other impediment to communication, Amtor's quirky cartography, stems from the inhabitants' bizarre cosmology, which at least in the southern hemisphere where Napier lands holds that the world is a flat disc floating on a burning sea, with a rim of ice and a center of fire. As the "rim" is actually the south pole, and the "center" the equator, Amtorians have an extraordinarily distorted view of their planet's surface, and their maps are warped accordingly. Due to the perpetual overcast, they have no celestial markers to correct their geographical mismeasurements, let alone on which to base the concepts of a solar system, other worlds, or the stars. The difference between the observed and theoretical versions of geography are reconciled by a pseudo-scientific "Theory of Relativity of Distance", which resolves the problem by multiplying by the square root of minus one. Napier finds it difficult to counter this rationale, noting that "You cannot argue with a man who can multiply by the square root of minus one." Such wry digs are typical of the series.
Other highlights include:
(Napier is asked to build an aeroplane, and replies that it may take some time)
"You have two or three hundred years, and the resources of a race of scientists. Materials we do not now possess we can create; nothing is impossible to Science."
"Chand Kabi...taught me many things that are not in the curriculum for boys under ten" (referring to telepathy).

Section 165.06 [edit] Controversy
Pirates of Venus includes a controversial passage which in the opinion of some expresses sympathy for the Ku Klux Klan, this should not surprise anyone with even a passing superficial knowledge of history and costume of the early 1900s in the United States. The Ku Klux Klan was then seen as a beneficial organization of brave individuals, as pictured in Griffith's movie Birth of a Nation and glorified by people like the u.s. president Woodrow Wilson. [1]
