Was Ka-Zar's Savage Land originally meant to be underground? In X-Men #62 it can be reached by falling a long distance in crevices located in Tierra del Fuego and it is sometimes said to be located "beneath" Antarctica. (I don't have any of the early Ka-Zar appearances, alas).
Cheers!

I don't have X-Men #10 in front of me; but, I believe it is a protected valley, rather than an underground world, ala Pellucidar and Skataris. I know the later X-Men tunneled their way into it, after escaping Dr Doom.

In the Bruce Jones series in the early '80s a huge new area was discovered, plus the remnants of an ancient Atlantean amusement park adjoining the nature preserve with the dinosaurs. There was something about an optical shielding that would make it all look white from above looking down on it, but inside the sky would look normal/blue with clouds, not sure how much of it was artificial though, I mean Antarctica like the north pole would have a couple months or so without any sunrise wouldn't it? The Atlantean architects had worked it all out of course. Here's the earlier '70s map for comparison...

I thought it might have been for FOOM or some such, but the British books make more sense. -M

I can't remember if Atlas/Seaboard was a shared universe or did each title exist strictly on it's own? I don't remember any crossover of characters in it's brief existence.

They only lasted 3 issues at the most and the Phoenix book dealt with an invaded earth that the other books didn't have. I'm guessing no but maybe there were plans to unite them if the company lasted a few months more.

Huh, didn't check Amazon for I thought they wouldn't have it. I was perusing eBay listings for the GN itself and most prices started around $50 and went up. Good to know about reprinting it in the Omnibuses, thanks.

One of the broken promises was creative ownership, which didn't quite lend itself, easily, to crossovers. Pretty much, everyone did their own thing. It wasn't helped by the fact that Jeff rovin, whose background was at Warren, doing magazine comics, was in charge of the color comics; and, Larry Lieber, whose background was in color comics, was doing the magazine comics. Atlas/Seaboard was a model of an organization that was a mess from the top down. As said above, nothing lasted long enough to crossover with anything else and the third issue was usually a revamp of the concept (4th, for Phoenix). Now, you sort of get a crossover with Marvel, when some of the guys took their toys home, in slightly modified format. Scorpion became Dominic Fortune and Demon Hunter became Devil-Slayer.
