| Rahan (Comic Book) | comment |
Rahan is a Franco-Belgian School comic following the adventures of Rahan, a prehistoric caveman who wanders the Earth, encountering a wide variety of tribes and challenges on his way.Wherever he goes, Rahan carries his trademark ivory cutlass, and his collar — one comprised of five claws, each one representing a virtue he tries to live up to; courage, loyalty, generosity, resilience, and wisdom. Nearly Once per Episode, Rahan figures out a new primitive technology to deal with with this issue's challenge. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Rahan (Comic Book) / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: Even when the fauna is not from other geological periods, Rahan may find anything from lemurs to gorillas to the sabertooth cat Smilodon (American, though they may be intended to be its old world ancestor Megantereon, which went extinct before the setting). | |

| Rahan (Comic Book) / int_45cec696 | comment |
God Guise: Occasionally done by the villain of the issue. Rahan himself does this in one story, passing himself as a divine spirit in order to talk two warring tribes into coexisting peacefully (the ending narration mentions he intends to reveal the whole truth to them once peace is secure). | |

Artistic License – Paleontology | |
| Rahan (Comic Book) / int_4c4bebf4 | comment |
Artistic License – Paleontology: Rahan regularly encounters dinosaurs. It's made even weirder by the fact that he also comes across regular paleolithic fauna such as mammoths and cave bears. The writers try to handwave the dinosaurs by repeatedly stating that they're leftovers from a bygone age, but it really just comes across as either carelessness or Rule of Cool. | |

Out-of-Genre Experience | |
| Rahan (Comic Book) / int_74ee1c2d | comment |
Out-of-Genre Experience: Despite all the Artistic License – Paleontology, the comic is devoid of any obvious fantasy elements — in fact Rahan very often debunks any claim of magic in the setting. And then, an issue feature him lost in a bizarre world that he thinks at first is the afterlife, with completely fantastic monsters and inexplicable forces. Turns out this is all a dream caused by hallucenogenic mushrooms. | |

Palate Propping: Rahan once manages this while bound hands and feet and offered in sacrifice to a big prehistoric crocodile. He catches a branch between his feet and wedges it between the croc's jaws, who then swims away rather miffed. | |

Science Hero: Rahan often debunks superstitious beliefs he comes across, be they merely misinterpretations of natural events or the acts of manipulative shamans. He also invents windmills, bridges, rafts, and so many more... Rahan seems determined to single-handedly get humanity out of the Stone Age. | |

Handsome Heroic Caveman: The heroic protagonist Rahan travels the land, righting wrongs along the way. Even though he also fights dinosaurs and Neanderthals, his approach is often more intelligent than violent: he tries persuading other cavemen to cooperate and help each other, and also makes a lot of useful inventions. Appearance-wise, he has long blonde hair and a chiseled body. | |
