Arak (comics)
Arak is a fictional comic book character published by DC Comics. He first appeared in a special insert in ''The Warlord'' #48 (August 1981)〔"''Arak, Son of Thunder'', described as an 'Indian/Viking,' makes his debut in a preview insert in ''Warlord'' #48, on sale in May." as noted in "Thomas's Indian/Viking to Roam Medieval Europe" Catron, Michael ''Amazing Heroes'' #1 June 1981 pp. 29-30〕 and was created by Roy Thomas and Ernie Colón. Arak (Bright-Sky-After-Storm) is depicted very much as a Conan knock-off in early appearances. Later, after encountering the Moirai, who explain his destiny to him, he takes on a more Native American appearance, including leather-fringed pants and a Mohawk hairstyle. Unlike Conan (a character Roy Thomas also wrote during his tenure at Marvel Comics), who usually fought against H. P. Lovecraftian monsters and entities, Arak encounters figures and creatures from myth and legends, including Greek, Norse, Judeo-Christian, Muslim, Oriental, and others.
''Arak'' was relatively culturally sensitive for the time when it debuted. Unlike other Native American heroes, like Apache Chief, who took a cartoonish view of Native Americans similar to the old western movie Natives, Arak did not have broken speech or other stereotypical Native traits. Also, the Vikings looked more like real Vikings and were not illustrated wearing the stereotypical horned helmets and fur clothing.
==Publication history==
After his debut in ''The Warlord'' #48, Arak starred in a monthly DC Comics series, ''Arak, Son of Thunder'', which ran 50 issues (and one 1984 annual) from Sept. 1981 to Nov. 1985. After a few token appearances in other stories, Arak has not appeared in any new adventures since 1988.
The ''Arak'' series was written, in one form or another, by Roy Thomas, joined in later issues by his wife Dann Thomas and by Jean-Marc Lofficier & Randy Lofficier. After penciling the first 12 issues, artist co-creator Colón left the title, replaced by a string of artists, including Adrian Gonzales, Ron Randall, Gerald Forton, and Tony DeZuniga.
