Product Description
At long last, DC presents the adventures of Kamandi, the last boy on Earth, in the popular Jack Kirby Omnibus format! In these tales from KAMANDI #1-20, Kamandi - one of the few survivors of a Great Disaster that has destroyed civilization -- must make his way in a world populated by bizarre mutated animals and other strange wonders! Considered one of Jack Kirby's most creative works, KAMANDI features a band of anthropomorphic supporting characters who accompany Kamandi as he searches for answers and adventure across the wastelands of Earth.

Last boy on earth stands up for Review,
By The Rowan (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kamandi, The Last Boy On Earth Omnibus Vol. 1 (Hardcover)
Great book, so nice to see so many of the issues together in one place. Well worth buying in my opinion.Only a minor gripe is that I wish they had printed it full size. It seems a bit smaller (90%) of the normal comic size. On my wish list, I would love to have an iPad version of the book available it perfectly suits reading on one. And I wish they'd publish the next book!

Volume 1 is Fantastic! Bring on Volume 2!,

This review is from: Kamandi, The Last Boy On Earth Omnibus Vol. 1 (Hardcover)
If you are a Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth fan, this book is a must-have! I loved this comic book series, as well as other Jack Kirby titles, as a child and it holds up extremely well today. I was going to buy the two DC Archives of Kamandi but then they halted that line; thank goodness DC went ahead with Kamandi in the Omnibus format. The color reproductions are amazing and the paper quality is exceptional too. From the foreward by Mike Royer and the copy on the back of the dustjacket, it looks like they plan on only releasing 2 volumes, thus covering just the Jack Kirby era (the first 40 issues) of series. As a completist, I do hope that DC will consider a third volume to cover the rest of the series (issues 41 through 59).Kamandi fans, treat yourself to Volume 1 and you won't be disappointed. Thank you, DC, for doing a wonderful job preserving the Kamandi legacy; I eagerly look forward to purchasing Volume 2! Darby 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful

Bronze Age Kirby at his finest!,
By Mike Hall - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Kamandi, The Last Boy On Earth Omnibus Vol. 1 (Hardcover)
The longest-lived of the titles Kirby launched during his time at DC Comics in the 1970s, Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth is essentially The King's spin on Planet of the Apes. To think no further of the work would do a grave disservice to the raw power of imagination coursing through these pages, though; Kamandi is bursting with manic energy and ideas almost operatic in scale. Kirby's apocalyptic future is a world of mythic stature, unfolding before our eyes as the titular young hero journeys through mysterious lands populated by fabulous monsters lurking amid the ruins of the ancient past. A staggering 20 issues of wild ideas and crazy adventures are packed between the covers of this hardcover tome, making the book well worth its price. Kamandi isn't the epic saga that was Kirby's Fourth World opus, nor is it quite as weird as his run on The Demon or the short-lived OMAC: One Man Army Corps (recently reinvented, and rather successfully, by the "New 52" DC relaunch), but it IS a consistently entertaining, exuberant post-apocalyptic fantasy.With talking animals. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful

Essential Kirby,

This review is from: Kamandi, The Last Boy On Earth Omnibus Vol. 1 (Hardcover)
Finally we can enjoy these stories as they saw print almost 40 years ago. No glossy paper or wrong color, but printed as comics should be, on newsprint-like paper. Kirby's imagination was never stronger than in these stories and it was a pleasure to reread these stories and have them in a permanent binding. Now we're only waiting for Vol 2.
