Review/plot: The X-Men go exploring and find a world that time forgot, where dinosaurs and cave men and sabertoothed tigers all live together.

The Savage Land is accessed by descending into a deep tunnel in Antarctica. I'm not clear on whether or not it is underground. I think it's supposed to be because Ka-Zar tells the X-Men that their world is "above". The X-Men initially think Ka-Zar is a mutant (based on... no evidence), but he's not.

Ka-Zar is speaking in Cave-Man speak. He will later reveal that he was faking.

I love the Axe Beaks that the Swamp Men ride.

Scott and Jean are still pining hopelessly for each other.
