Synopsis for "Return to the Savage Land!"

Ka-Zar returns to the Savage Lands by means of a SHIELD plane and a courageous jump with his friend and pet Zabu. Upon reaching the beaches of the isle, Ka-Zar decided to take a swim in its waters. His relaxing swim was soon met by a giant snake which he quickly slew then soon after the death of a shark that attacked him after smelling blood in the water. Following the battle Ka-Zar returned to the beach and stated his happiness to return to the dangerous land he feels like he belongs in even if it meant parting with Agent Bobbi Morse who he ha become close with during his travels away from his bestial lands.

Meanwhile at the former Castle of Iranda the Lizard-Queen a new residence takes occupancy in the form of Malgato the Red Wizard and Maa-Gor the Man-Ape who plot to use Ka-Zar for their own purposes. The Red Wizard relays a tale of the Savage Land to Maa-Gor about how it once used to be called Paradise until the Cataclysm occurred and how if not for the volcanic walls that surround the lands it would have shared the same fate as Atlantis. Over time however the remnants of the population turned against each other and those that survived faced a harsh cold until they came to an ancestor of Malgato whom performed a ritual for the Sun-God Garokk. The ritual provided heat to the snowy lands and kept its creatures warmed across time which allowed clans like the Fall People to form. Malgato went on to explain that disaster was nearing however describing the many resent events that Ka-Zar had fought against which is why they need him now.

Malgato then released some of his trained Pterodactyls to retrieve the lord of the jungle which they do by way of capturing Zabu and Ka-Zar not wishing to leave his friend rides with him to the castle. Soon after arriving and prepared for a fight Malgato first offers a parley. The Red wizard informs Ka-Zar that he requires the sacrifice of a man and woman for the ritual to the Sun-God. Ka-Zar refuses and the wizard entraps him with a planned net trap and has Maa-Gor beat him with a large club, but Ka-Zar and Zabu escape with Maa-Gor pursing him. Maa-Gor and Ka-Zar fight, after first commanding Zabu to flee. What should be an easy win for Ka-Zar he soon realizes Maa-Gor is more than what he appears, as Malgato had placed a strength spell on the Man-Ape. Maa-Gor's strength and speed are too much for Ka-Zar who is rendered uncouncious through strangulation. Maa-Gor would have killed Ka-Zar if not for the image of Malgato commanding him to instead bring him back to the red wizard.

Once awake Ka-Zar still refuses to sacrifice himself, so Malgato introduces his female sacrificial companion, Shanna the She-Devil...
