Description

Published 1973.
Adapting Thongor and the Wizard of Lemuria by Lin Carter.
The title Creatures on the Loose started off as Tower of Shadows, a horror anthology.
It became a fantasy/SF title for a while reprinting stories from Marvel's pre-superhero days.
From issue 16, it started adapting Gullivar Jones by Edwin L. Arnold.
And from issue 21, it started adapting Thongor by Lin Carter.
Thongor was patterned after Conan the Barbarian and was the first published in 'The Wizard of Lemuria' by Ace books in 1965. This was also Lin Carter's first published novel.
The novel was later revised and expanded as Thongor and the Wizard of Lemuria.
There were a total of six Thongor novels by Lin Carter.
The Thongor feature ran through issue 29, after which it was replaced by Man-Wolf.

In the previous issue, Thongor had stolen a flying machine to escape from the city of Thurdis. Unfortunately, he was attacked by a pterodactyl and knocked overboard where he now dangles unconscious.

I'm a Conan guy and don't know anything about Thongor aside fro mthe fact that there have been a few novels written about him. But I AM a dinosaur guy and for that alone this splash page kicks sweet ass!

Thongor than there've been Wizards on Lemuria
Ever since Creatures On The Loose
Thongor has been hoisted up to fly with the dragons
Val Mayerik draws for you

Stronger than any jock strap that you know
Truer than any Dwark ever flew
Deeper than Chush's forest primeval
Colletta inks for you

I'll bring fire of Lin Carter
You'll send engines with the wings
We'll fly through the falls and summers
This splash of art brings

Through the years we grow fond of this fellow
Inking lines in this book of our lives
Though the sword attacks and the genre starts to follow
Creatures are on the Loose
Thongor is on the Loose
