Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #55

Kamandi #55 brings late-1978 DC science-fiction drama to a fever pitch, as the cover — penciled by Al Milgrom and inked by Danny Bulanadi — throws Kamandi and a companion into desperate peril before a towering, insectoid green creature while a glowing orange figure identified as Pyra blazes at the creature's center. The cover caption warns that Pyra has lost control of the monster, with destruction erupting all around the scrambling figures. It's a vivid, urgent setup for "The Vortex Beast," promising exactly the kind of wild post-apocalyptic mayhem this series does so well.
