A caveman banished from his tribe and forced to wander his prehistoric world alone (except for his loyal simian friend Chee-Chee), Tor faces not only the incredible menace of dinosaurs, but that of an equal if not greater threat - Man. The lone soul facing a world he only barely understands, refusing to compromise with a system he considers unfair and trying to find his place in the world, Tor could virtually be a statement about the role of the individual experiencing the homogenization of America in the 1950s. The prehistoric man genre at that time certainly wasn't totally new in popular culture, but in the hands of Kubert it had never been more dynamic. A master of draftsmanship and composition, Kubert has been a legend in the world of comics for over fifty years, and his work on Tor has for decades been one of comics' most highly regarded series. In this third and final Archive Edition, Kubert - at his artistic peak - revives his creation for the '70s and '90s and continues his sweeping yet personal tales of Tor's exile facing evil and teaches lessons of nobility, honor and friendship. less
