Template:Short description Yor the Hunter (original: Henga el cazador, also known simply as Henga)[1] is an Argentine comic series created in 1974 by writer Ray Collins (pseudonym of writer Eugenio Juan Zappietro) and artist Juan Zanotto.[1] It appeared for the first time in the Argentine comics magazine Skorpio.
The saga is set at the beginning of the Neolithic Age,[2] and revolves on the mysterious origins of the main character, a young and blonde hunter, and the mythical Atlantis. The world in which Yor lives is a mix of prehistoric tribes and animals (including dinosaurs and other monsters) and science fiction themes, in particular the last survivors of a very advanced civilization which is now on the verge of extinction. During the series, Hor, the son of Yor and also a young warrior, is introduced.
Translation and adaptation
The comic appeared in the Italian magazine Lanciostory, starting with its first issue (#0) in 1975.
The 1983 Italian-French miniseries and film Yor, the Hunter from the Future are based on the comic.
