Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #52

Kamandi — the last boy on Earth — is surrounded on all sides as bat-winged night creatures swarm across this September 1977 cover, penciled by Rich Buckler and inked by Alfredo Alcala. The blonde, bare-chested Kamandi fights back against the snarling, clawed attackers in a scene that practically leaps off the page, with the bold cover blurb promising "The Night Creatures Want Blood!" Inside, writer Jack C. Harris and artist Dick Ayers (inked by Alcala) continue the post-apocalyptic saga with "Sing a Song of Survival" — an intriguing title that hints at both desperation and resilience in equal measure.
