KAMANDI 9, pages 2 and 3 (oversize image)





The double-page splash from KAMANDI 9, Sept 1973. But more clear in this photo than the printed version, and without the art of Kamandi and Ben Boxer superimposed in the foreground. It's interesting to see the art alone without the Kirby art figures added. This was a great panorama photo-spread intended to show "Tracking Site", the moon-like surface of South America in Kamandi's future, destroyed by a meteor shower, and Tracking Site is an astronaut base built in the shape of a sphere that floats above the continent. Plus a defensive satelite to protect the sphere from mutant bats in the middle background. One of Kirby's more successful collages, in portraying impressive visuals in the story.
