This is kind of a cheap post, but I always like to include this when I blog. You’re looking at a world map presented in Jack Kirby’s Kamandi. It’s the kind of thing that as a reader, going back into the troves of past generations, I can’t get enough of. It’s a great tie in for me as a gamer, too. But really, at the end of the day, it’s a plug for my favorite comic podcast, Funnybook Babylon. I’ll let them take it from here.

--------Its been Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay tooooooo long for me to remember,...but this is still the D.C. universe,.......but something "REALLY BAD" happened to poor ol' Gea,...the eco system has dun gone "STRANGE"......"Damn filthy apes!" are the LEAST of the problems.

    • a bit more "current" -heh-

      Origin of the concept

      The concept for Kamandi came from several different sources:
      The name "Kamandi" was recycled from a newspaper strip idea Kirby pitched in 1956, entitled "Kamandi of the Caves."[1]
      In Alarming Tales # 1, September 1957, Kirby drew a story entitled "The Last Enemy." In this story, a man travels in time to the year 2514, where he finds that humans are extinct and the world is ruled by tribes of intelligent tigers, dogs, and rats. Kirby's drawings of these animals are very similar to his later drawings in Kamandi.[2]
      The 1968 movie Planet of the Apes also portrayed an animal-ruled world. The cover of Kamandi # 1, showing a demolished Statue of Liberty, was very similar to the final scene in the movie.[3]
      DC publisher Carmine Infantino claimed to have created the premise for the series, after having failed to purchase the rights for a Planet of the Apes
      Carmine can go S-ck himself.
