Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew #7


It should be no surprise that the Zoo Crew tangle with a parody of Conan the Barbarian. Though Conan was at the time a Marvel property, Capt. Carrot creator Roy Thomas was not. Plus, Thomas is the one who brought Conan to comicdom and was the main writer of that series for a number of years.

The book is pretty good and I love how this Bow-Zar has trouble adjusting to 1982, like thinking a man riding in a car was actually swallowed by a giant metal lizard. The thing that was oddest to me was Bow-Zar’s coloring. His main is brown but his body fur is pink. I kept thinking he was skinned or something. But, if you look closely, there is indeed “fur” draw on his torso. A little creepy looking, that’s all.

A very funny issue that is worth consuming
