Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #3

Jack Kirby and inker Mike Royer deliver a striking vision of a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas buried in rubble, where the crumbled signs of casinos and hotels form the battleground for a tense confrontation. Blond, bare-chested Kamandi swings a lasso against a towering, headband-wearing gorilla clad in red who looms over him with terrifying size and fury. The cover's tagline sets the stakes perfectly — "once a playground for men, now a sinister hunting ground for gorillas" — and the self-contained story, "The Thing That Grew on the Moon!," promises a full adventure in one 1973 issue.
