Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #8

Kamandi — the blond, bare-chested last boy on Earth — fights desperately through a gauntlet of armed, humanoid lion-men in this striking 1973 DC issue, all set against the haunting backdrop of enormous crumbling stone faces that evoke a civilization long fallen. Jack Kirby's cover pencils (inked by Mike Royer) crackle with kinetic energy, the lion warriors closing in from every angle as Kamandi stands his ground. "Beyond Reason" promises the kind of wild, post-apocalyptic adventure that made this series one of 1973's most imaginative offerings.
