Ka-Zar was an American pulp magazine that published three issues in 1936 and 1937. Each issue had a lead novel, featuring Ka-Zar, a character modelled after Tarzan. Ka-Zar had been born David Rand, orphaned in the Congo when a plane crash killed his parents, John and Constance. David was raised by a lion named Zar, and can speak to animals. The novels, written by Bob Byrd, are described by pulp historian Robert Weinberg as "all clearly derivative...[showing] no originality in either content or form".
