Publishing History

 
"Kabur" was launched in 1975 by Editions Lug, one year after its short-lived "Waki" (1974), as an answer to Marvel's Conan, which was being successfully published by Lug.  In spite of its slick packaging, the magazine lasted only five issues.  Its back-up feature was the Bronze Gladiator.
