Prehistoric Adventure Returns in Kubert’s Tor

Comic legend Joe Kubert takes readers back to the Dawn of Time with DC Comics’ Tor #1, his first all-new Tor story in more than a decade!

One of the comic industry’s most revered creators, Kubert’s work on DC’s Sgt. Rock and Hawkman, in addition to his run on Tarzan and his award-winning Fax from Sarajevo, have made him a lasting fan favorite.

Kubert returns to the title he co-created in 1953 with a new tale of the young Tor, exiled by his people and fighting for survival in a harsh prehistoric world. Not content to merely exist, Tor also wrestles with questions that would plague humankind for eons: Why are we here? Is there more to life than suffering and survival? Is violence the only answer?

Fighting new battles, making new friends and understanding his own humanity, Tor begins a personal evolution under the direction of a master storyteller.

The 32-page, full-color issue is scheduled to ship on May 7.
