Lizard Amazons Of The Desert

Dagar was one of those rich white guys who went to some far corner of the world and set himself up as that region's protector since the original locals couldn't seem to handle any kind of dangers on their own. Having premiered in Issue 13 of the anthology series All Great Comics from Fox Features, he eventually got his own series following this in Issue 14 of his own series, Dagar: Desert Hawk, and the first story in it a real doozie. Continuing the previous adventure of rescuing explorers Chuck and Wendi, along with the vivacious desert maiden Ayesha, Dagar left them to make their way across the dunes on their own while he probably went to a hookah party like the rich git that he is. The three survivors end up getting captured yet again, but this time by a tribe of scantily clad scavengers adorned in the skins of giant reptiles which they rode upon like something out of Tatooine. The lizard people are ruled by Mura who sentences their captives to a gladiator match with their king-size monsters, but fortunately Dagar was out on a beer run and happened upon the desert amazons' lost city. Our great white hope immediately kills and skins a random big lizard and uses its corpse to cosplay as one of the other lizards to step in and save his friends, as well as the other prisoners. Mura holds Wendi hostage in a bid to escape, only to get turned into a lizard snack by one of her overgrown pets. This time after rescuing his comrades, Dagar makes sure they won't get captured a third time by another lost civilization and gives them cheap tickets on a caravan. Dagar the Desert Hawk is another clueless honky who took his skills of being a pampered westerner and used them to bring some sort of order to a chaotic foreign land, but considering this is in a comic book and not taking place in the genuine Africa then you've got to seriously suspend your disbeliefs for this pulp-fueled trip.
