Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #38

This mid-1970s DC series finds Kamandi and Arna in desperate peril on this Joe Kubert cover, where the two figures are hurled violently through the air against the massive crimson sweep of what appears to be a monstrous claw — yellow machinery tumbling alongside them amid bursts of electric energy. The cover teaser "Captives of the Killer Claw!" sets an urgent, survivalist tone perfectly suited to Kamandi's post-apocalyptic world, while the promise of "Pyra Revealed!" hints at more to uncover inside from the creative team of Gerry Conway and Jack Kirby.
