I haven't seen any POTAS (apart from #1) in years, but I've still got my original SSOCs which also features Ka-Zar, which is why I associate the character with the latter, rather than the former publication.<br /><br />So everybody's right.

His first appearance in it was a Jack Kirby tale where he met Kraven, then we got the Barry Smith Garokk stuff before he disappeared from the mag.

Of course, it's always possible that they were first published in POTA, but it seems a bit strange that Marvel would reprint them in another comic so quickly.
