Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #44

Kamandi — The Last Boy on Earth — leaps into furious action on this August 1976 DC issue, with the blond, bare-chested hero kicking hard against a crowd of green reptilian warriors on what appears to be a ship's deck, knife in hand, while the cover copy promises "In the middle of a deadly barracuda attack — Kamandi goes wild!" Ernie Chan's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, packing the scene with snarling creature-soldiers and a flash of supernatural light as our hero fights against impossible odds. Inside, writers David Kraft and Paul Levitz team with artist Pablo Marcos to deliver "The Merchant of Menace," a team-up featuring Kamandi and Ben Boxer that sounds every bit as wild as that cover promises.
