I need more comics about guys exploring lost civilizations and going on crazy adventures. Tarzan, Conan and John Carter are obvious picks but I'm looking for stuff that's less well known.

Other examples:
Girl Genius
Adele Blanc-Sec
Cyborg 009

I'm guessing you already know Storm (by the same artist as Trigan Empire)?
>>
>>152314615
Only vaguely. Where can I read it?
>>
>>152314412
Warlord by Mike Grell is a hollow earth sword and sorcery
Carl Barks explored this trope a few times, Lost in the Andes and Tralla La are good examples

Warlord is terrific. I really go in for the lost world barbarian jazz.

Turok wasn't just an N64 game. Also It's not REALLY a lost world story but you should read Xenozoic Tales (Cadillacs and Dinosaurs)

Ciudad by Barreiro/Gimenez is about a couple trapped in an endless city

wish I could be of greater help..
>>
>>152314639
Not a clue, I have it on my shelf. It's better than Trigan Empire.
>>
>>152314412
I thought this was boring.
>>
>>152314412
In addition to John Carter, there's several Carson Of Venus adaptations as well.
When he wasn't bopping around the known kingdoms, Flash Gordon was often mixing it up with lost civs.

Have you taken leave of your senses?!

>>152317077
It's alright for as long as the artist is on the book, but it's very repetitive
>>
>>152314412
Is a bronze age aesthetic required?

probably a more Antiquity meets sci-fi aesthetic that probably defines the Trigan Empire the most
The middle panel were a bunch of Greek hoplite guys using rayguns in a last stand encapulates it the best

Ka-Zar?

No.
>>152317798
The art is nice and crisp, but the format works against it.
>>
>>152320987
The format is fine when you remember it was two pages every month is was never really intended to be collected in big omnibuses that Rebellion produced for the series.
The problem mostly comes from the lack of story progression post the first story arc, after that it's just the same status quo for the entire series, even though it starts by telling the reader that the entire world the comic is set on and trigan Empire has died with no surviors

tarzan

It's not fine, it's just what it is.

interesting

You're on thin ice, buddy

What about post-apocalyptics like Kamandi and Mighty Samson? The lost civilization is us.

>>152323365
true

lost city explorers

>>152323365
Dying Earth stories would work as well
>>
Have you read Valerian?
>>
>>152326577
Warlord actually ran one of these as a backup feature, The Barrren Earth. (and a followup miniseries)
>>
>>152328468
i guess that makes sense.
Dying Earth and the Sword and Sorcery genres have a lot in common

>>152314412
Worlds of Aldebaran

>about a couple trapped in an endless city
Hold up, wait a minute...
>>
>>152329084
Not like that, it's more of a surreal dreamlike place with no end rather than a sci fi hellscape like in Blame.

Batman Odyssey

How do you figure that?
