Thun'da

Creation & Design

Thun'da was created during the 1960s as a response to the popularity of Tarzan and other jungle-themed characters. His design was heavily influenced by the artwork of Frank Frazetta, who contributed to the character's iconic look.

Character Development

Over the years, Thun'da evolved from a simple jungle hero to a more complex character who grapples with the consequences of civilization's impact on nature. His stories began to reflect deeper themes of environmentalism and the clash between progress and tradition.

Cultural Reception

Thun'da received a mixed reception during his initial run, with some praising the artwork and adventurous spirit, while others felt the stories were derivative of existing jungle heroes.
