Lizard Men
The Lizard Man are a lizard-like race that were one of the Beast-Men created by the Ancient Atlanteans. The Lizard Men are a hunter and gatherer society and reside in the city of Vala Kuri. The Lizard Men of Vala Kuri are peaceful in nature. They are protected from the Sun People by Ka-Zar and Garokk. They have ancestors in the Reptile Men and the Waidians.
One version of the Lizard Men were actually a group of mystically-altered humans that went missing from their village and turned into Lizard Men by Queen Iranda. When Ka-Zar comes to their aid, he barely escapes them and manages to escape with Queen Iranda's crown which regressed Queen Iranda back to a lizard and the Lizard Men back to their human forms.
The Lizard Men first appeared in Astonishing Tales #8 and were created by Gerry Conway. The Lizard Men that were ruled by Queen Iranda first appeared in Savage Tales #5.
The Lizard Men of the Savage Land are much different from the Lizard Men of Subterranea and the Lizard Men of Tok (from the Microverse).
