Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth was a science-fiction comic book series published by DC Comics. The series was first published throughout The '70s and its characters have appeared in various other comics since.After the success of Planet of the Apes (1968), DC Comics editor Carmine Infantino asked artist/writer Jack Kirby to create a series with a similar premise after failing to secure the rights to that series (Marvel Comics got it instead). Kirby had never actually seen the film, but took what little he did know and combined it with some of his previous sci-fi one-shots (namely The Last Enemy) and a few unused ideas. Thus Kamandi was born, a title which — unlike most other comics Kirby created for DC — lasted for many years, though Kirby would leave the book about two-thirds into its run.In the original series, a mysterious incident known only as "The Great Disaster" caused the collapse of human civilization. Fast-forward a few centuries and a human boy is living with his grandfather in a bunker called "Command-D" somewhere near New York City. When his caretaker dies, the young man — named after the place — sets outs to find more people. What he discovers is that most humans are now primitive and unable to speak, while many animals became humanoid in form and gained human-level intelligence; the latter the result of an experiment that was being carried out shortly before the Disaster. Naturally, this means humans are now treated as animals, and the animals have developed their own civilizations that were suspiciously similar to ancient human ones (e.g., the tigers are The Roman Empire).All the animal races are also at war with each other, scavenging and fighting for resources among the Ruins of the Modern Age, with the main conflict being between the Tigers and the Apes. The plot followed Kamandi's attempts to restore humanity's sentience in this new era of Earth A.D. while avoiding the various animal armies. Over the course of his journey, he is able to befriend individuals such as the science-minded hound Doctor Canus, as well as encounter some mutated humans who are still capable of human reasoning and speech.Other comic appearances: In 1993, the character saw a Darker and Edgier reboot in a six-issue Elseworlds miniseries entitled Kamandi: At Earth's End, which was in turn followed by the more well-known and infamous Superman: At Earth's End (i.e., that story with the twin clones of Hitler). During the 2007–2008 miniseries Countdown to Final Crisis, a present-day version of Kamandi and his grandfather, after becoming involved with a sentient satellite he created and a trip to Apokolips, are transported to an Alternate Universe where a plague from the future has re-created the setting of the original series. The 2009 anthology series Wednesday Comics featured Kamandi stories written by Dave Gibbons and drawn by Ryan Sook. 2017's Kamandi Challenge, a twelve-issue Round Robin series that served as a sequel to the 1980s DC Challenge.note Among the writers was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman, a big Kirby fan who said Kamandi is his favorite title the writer had done. The 3-issue Generations event in 2020-2021 has Kamandi brought together with other heroes and villains taken from different eras to stop a threat to all the timelines.Outside of the comics, Kamandi made multiple appearances in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and got his own DC Showcase short, released as a bonus feature for Justice Society: World War II. | |

Short-Lived Organism: The Crater People are a race of mutated humans who are born with adult-level intellect, but age extremely quickly. They reach adulthood at three years of age, but spontaneously die at five or six. They obsessively pursue Kamandi due to the belief that he, the last normal boy on Earth, is the key for them to achieve longevity. | |

Humans Are Morons: After the Great Disaster, humans lost most of their intellect while other animals became sapient, leading the former species to be seen as pets at best and expendable slaves at worst. Even then, Canus suggests that the current scientific community believes human beings to have been ignorant even before the disaster. | |

Hope Springs Eternal: Though Kamandi never manages to find another sapient human being, issue 16 suggests that there is still hope for the species. At the end of the story, some humans are exposed to Cortexin, a synthetic compound which made animals progressively more intelligent with every generation. The panels juxtapose the scientists' research notes with displays of the affected humans' newfound problem solving skills, implying that, within a few decades, mankind may recover to its former glory. | |

Hair-Trigger Temper | |
Kamandi (Comic Book) / int_63b02752 | comment |
Hair-Trigger Temper: Kamandi follows the impulsive hero archetype that is commonly featured in Jack Kirby's works, being portrayed as a courageous, emotional young man who gets into fist fights at the slightest provocation. One of the earliest demonstrations of his aggressiveness is when he punches another man for accepting to be a tiger's pet, as he believes such subservience is a disservice to humanity's legacy. | |

World War III: Though the exact nature of the Great Disaster is never firmly established, Jack Kirby drops some hints that it may have originated from the Cold War degenerating into a nuclear conflict.

And he's also Jed Walker from The Sandman (1989)! | |

And later still, he was made to be an Alternate Universe version of DC's Space Policeman, Tommy Tomorrow. | |

Hope Spot: Though several stories make it appear as if Kamandi's goal of finding another sapient member of his own species can be accomplished, his hopes are always dashed at the last minute. One example is issue 20, where Kamandi discovers what appears to be a thriving human community in Chicago, only for the ending to reveal that those people were just animatronics being operated by an artificial intelligence. The story concludes with Kamandi sorrowfully lamenting that he is truly alone. | |

Company Cross References: In one issue Kamandi becomes entranced by some old comics he finds. The character on the cover is clearly Jack Kirby's character Etrigan. | |

Kamandi (Comic Book) / int_e26f04b4 | comment |
Last of His Kind: There are humans who've lost their intelligence (though some are still capable of Hulk Speak), and some mutants (like Ben Boxer, Misfit, and the human gophers), but Kamandi is the last remnant of humanity as we know it. | |

Kamandi (Comic Book) / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: One issue is a retelling of King Kong, with Kamandi replacing Fay Wray. It's explicitly lampshaded at the end, with Kamandi saying something along the lines of "Even the ancients' movies could never have come up with something as incredible as this!" | |
