Really, the main thrust of the comic is just Kamandi coming across weird sections of the United States in every issue. That was truly the genius of Jack Kirby - there wasn't even really much of a point to the comics other than seeing what kind of awesomely strange ideas Kirby could come up with in every issue, like Kamandi fighting Lion Men on Mount Rushmore The covers would also always have these awesome, trippy blurbs on them.
Here are a few from "Kamandi" One of the big questions surrounding Kamandi was whether the series was set on the actual DC Comics Earth. Kirby was pretty vague about it, although famously, in "Kamandi" 29, he introduced the concept of "the Mighty one," as a race of gorillas were worshipping what appeared to be Superman's costume. It also continued without Kirby for more than two years. During this time, Kamandi was slowly worked into the regular DC Universe, like an issue of "Superman" that confirmed that yes, the Superman costume in "Kamandi" 29 was, in fact, Superman's actual costume.
Kamandi has only rarely appeared in DC Comics over the past forty years, including a storyline in "Countdown to Final Crisis" that purported to show the "Great Disaster" for the first time, as Buddy Blank from "OMAC" is on an Earth that is devolving into the same situation as "Kamandi," and Blank gets his unnamed grandson to "Command-D" to protect him, as he hopes that his grandson can forgive him for making him "the last boy on Earth.
His writing has been featured at ESPN. He features legends about entertainment and sports at his website, Legends Revealed and other pop culture features at Pop Culture References. By Brian Cronin Published Jan 25, By the time of Kamandi, all animals--except horses -- have mutated into humanoid forms and become the dominant life on Earth, whereas most of humanity's remains have fallen into primitive savagery.
The animals rule with an iron fist, and use the remaining humans as slaves. Kamandi himself has all of the intelligence of a Pre-Great Disaster human, having been raised on and getting his name from the human bunker Command D. Eventually leaving after his grandfather's death, he travels across the wasteland of Earth-AD After Disaster in the hopes of one day restoring humanity's place on the top of the food chain.
His allies include a group of human mutants that were genetically engineered to survive their new environment, as well numerous animal allies such as Doctor Canus and Prince Tuftan. Despite its far-flung future setting, Kamandi was, at least tentatively connected to some version of the mainstream DC Universe. This was established when in one issue, Kamandi finds a group of apes literally worshiping the tattered scraps of Superman's costume. Kamandi had also been taught extensively about the DC superheroes of the past, though these happened so long ago that many simply regarded them as legends.
After the conclusion of his own series, Kamandi showed up throughout various other tertiary Bronze Age titles. Quote of the Day 'We publish comics for year-olds' Kevin Melrose Aug 6, What Are You Reading? John Parkin Dec 30, Food or Comics?
