The LAST BOY On Earth!
Jack Kirby's KAMANDI Kamandi was a DC Comics comic book character created by artist and writer Jack Kirby in the early 1970's. The majority of Kamandi's appearances to date occurred in the first comic book series Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth, which was published from 1972 to 1978. Kamandi was portayed as a young 'hero' in a Post-Apocalyptic future, which was set in a parallel Earth of the DC Universe's future. It was set in a period after an event called "The Great Disaster". In that period humans are a persecuted minority in a world ruled by intelligent, highly evolved animals. If that sounds familiar to you, then remember that an earlier 1968 movie 'Planet of the Apes' also portrayed an animal-ruled world! Indeed, the cover of Kamandi #1, showing a demolished Statue of Liberty, was posibly inspired by a similar scene in the 'Planet of the Apes' movie just before it ended! However, if you were to think that Jack Kirby was copying the movie, he actually had drawn a similiar theme in a comic book story in 'Alarming Tales' #1 back in September 1957. In that comic book Jack drew a story entitled "The Last Enemy." In the story, he has a man traveling in time to the year 2514, where he finds that humans are extinct! That time traveler finds that the world is ruled by tribes of intelligent tigers, dogs, and rats! Jack's drawings of these intelligent animals are very much similar to his later drawings in Kamandi 15 years later. This series was one of the last that Jack Kirby wrote and drew for DC Comics before returning to Marvel Comics. Quite often you can find high grade copies of these at comic book conventions.
