About this Collection

This 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.

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.
