Kamandi Archives #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis hardcover archive edition collects the earliest adventures of Kamandi, the last boy on Earth, from DC Comics' 1970s series. Created by Jack Kirby, the stories follow Kamandi through a post-apocalyptic world where animals have evolved into dominant, warring species and humans are a dwindling, feral remnant. Volume 1 reprints the first several issues of the original run, showcasing Kirby's signature dynamic art and imaginative, dystopian world-building.
In "The Devil's Arena," Kamandi and Ben Boxer are caught in a brutal clash between the Tigers and the Gorillas, who seize Kamandi and Tuftan after the ambush. Trapped in a war-torn arena, Kamandi escapes his captors and reunites with Tuftan, only to face a new threat as Caesar's army descends upon the ruins. With danger closing in from all sides, the two must navigate the wreckage of a forgotten world—where even a relic like an ancient jet holds more peril than promise.
In "Flower!", Kamandi and the mysterious Flower are seized by Sultin and his lion allies and brought to the Wild Life Sanctuary. As two Pumas close in with deadly intent, targeting Flower, Sultin steps in to halt the attack—just as the danger escalates.
In "The Monster Fetish," Kamandi finds himself caught between warring animal tribes when the gorillas prepare him as a sacrifice for the enigmatic creature known as Tiny. As tensions explode and the lions intervene to subdue Tiny, Kamandi’s fate hangs in the balance—caught in a cycle of violence he never asked for. The story unfolds with raw urgency, testing loyalty, fear, and the cost of survival in a world where monsters aren’t always what they seem.
