KAMANDI #29 was the first issue of the title I ever bought. It was the SUPERMAN suit that drew me in, you see. Hitherto, I hadn't found the prospect of a semi-naked, long-haired, girlie-boy the sort of thing I'd want to read, much less part with my hard-earned cash for, but I just had to find out about that suit. Why was it unworn? What had happened to the mighty MAN Of STEEL? How did all the pieces fit together in this post-apocalyptic world of the future?
There was only one way to find out, of course, and that was to buy the mag - which I did - but, truth to tell, although I purchased a handful of other issues after that, I never became a huge fan of the book. It was KIRBY-by-the-numbers and, although an entertaining enough read, nowhere near as satisfying as Jack's MARVEL work with STAN LEE. (So why, as far as longevity goes, was it Jack's most successful mag at DC COMICS? Go figure!)
However, Kirby is Kirby, so a good many years ago, I managed to re-acquire #29, as well as the first nine comics in the series. In fact, if memory serves, I got #1 in the early 1980s, before I got #29 some years later. Eventually, I had the set of issues whose covers you see in this very post - which I've decided to share with you all at absolutely no charge. Am I a great guy or what?
