[edit] Series history

Dagar was a sword and sorcery series, set in a mythical past of warriors and wizards. There were a few secondary characters (Durak in #7, 12, 13; Torgus in #9, 10, 13). Don Glut also tied in his other Gold Key characters such as Tragg and Doctor Spektor. In #5, Jarn, Tragg's Neanderthal brother appeared. Tragg cameoed in issue #11. In issue #13, the story actually crossed over and was concluded in issue #15 of Doctor Spektor.

Dagar appeared in Tales of Sword & Sorcery, which lasted 18 issues from October, 1972 to December, 1976. Later on, a new story appeared in Gold Key Spotlight #6, in July 1977.
