Anything but "empty"
While this is not a great film it entertained me. I give it an average rating because good is not great. An actor struggling with his lack of success finally enters into a bargain performing a duty that will allow him to pay down his debts. He had no idea what he was signing to do. The cast is fun (Jon Favereau, Adam Beach, Darryl Hannah and Sean Bean as well as a cameo with Kelsey Grammar) and they're genuine in their roles, odd as some of them are. There are strange people in the truck stop town of Baker California and even stranger things happening in the wastelands in the middle of the night.
Having an instant appreciation for small films set in the desert helps. Have some guy with his back against the wall he sometimes wishes to hide behind makes it even more fun. The lure of sex and money are overpowering but the price looks too steep for Jon Person (our character's stage name). Still, no matter how hard he tries to play it straight he still seems to be courting chaos. Jealous boyfriends, an FBI agent investigating the death of the man who hired Jon and then there's talk of aliens in the high desert, and the mysterious and deadly "Cowboy" and his British accent. This is a good romp with heart. If you like a tinge of the weird and good characters set in small places this might be your movie.

Some of the best escapist adventure fiction to ever be printed.
From the absolutely stunning cover art featuring a mash-up of Ka-Zar and Zabu with the unlikely Conan the Cimmerian, to interior featuring stellar artwork and stories by Jim Starlin and Roy Thomas, Val Mayerik and John Jakes, John Buscema and Stan Lee, this is high form in savage entertainment. Dated? Yup. Fun? Big time! what's funny is the two latter tales are reprints but the quality of the reproduction is hands down superior to the color comics they were originally printed in and this format really showcases the art in a new, superior way. The magazine is in very good shape, better than expected for the bargain price.

Impressive, a showcase from a broad range of creative talent.
These collection of reprints have improved considerably over the years. The Ka-zar Masterworks collection is an unusual character for selection but the quality is among the best and while not exactly a mainstream character for most Marvel comics enthusiasts it's worthy of a place on the shelf. The art by Barry Windsor Smith alone is a treat. There is also the unexpurgated Ka-zar tale straight from it's impressive story debut in Savage Tales. This story presents the original black and white art accented with ink wash, beautifully scanned and has long been considered to be among John Buscema's best art in a career of impressive artwork. This collection also features the first appearance of the Man-Thing illustrated by Neal Adams in a brief introduction of the character's origins. Neal's art really stands out as it's reproduced from elaborate and lovingly detailed graphite drawings. Gil Kane's artwork is also featured in the story that tells us of Ka-zar's origins and is also featured in a tale of Ka-zar's dealings in the urban jungle of the big city. Other art provided by Jack Kirby, George Tuska, Rich Buckler and even Herb Trimpe are wonderful with stories penned by Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, Steve Parkhouse, Gary Friedrich, Mike Friedrich and even Len Wein make this an oddly cohesive and consistently good collection. I think the character, odd as he is, with his erudite, stage English, actually works in the time period but is still a fun read today. The combination of boorish thespian/me Tarzan schtick makes him a commanding and imposing figure. He's oddly dynamic when compared to the superheroes of the time, who are rife with personal insights, wearing there humanity on their sleeves. Ka-zar speaks in pronouncements and lives large, and it works, even though it should not.
