Here's some 70's OA for your veiwing pleasure. If you see something you like, trading is an option and offers are politely considered. Over the years I have been asked questions regarding Jack’s Kamandi run. Below is a very brief description of the series, from a OA point of view. Kirby did the interiors for issues #1-40. Covers for #1-33 It’s generally consider that his first twenty issues are the best, with the #1-16 being the gems of the run. (Prime Royer inks.) #17-20 are sweet (SGT Ugush’s only appearances) but they are inked by Bruce D Berry. (Great inker, just not Royer) It’s funny but “Royer snobs” forget that Sinnott was Kirby’s best inker, but I digress. Of the first sixteen issues, only four issues are broken #’s 3, 4, 8, and 10. The rest are complete and Erik Larsen owns a good bit of them. Check out his CAF. Issues #17, 19, and 20 are broken, issue #18 is intact. Food for thought, there is a good chance that none of the remaining intact issues from # 1 - 29 are going to be broken, ever. ALL the owners are passionate about keeping them together. This means you have a very limited selection when looking for that special Kamandi page. Generally, if you just want a Kirby Kamandi page, issues #30-40 are the cheapest and easiest way to go. As a general rule, the lower the issue number, the higher the price but it’s all Kirby fun. It just depends on what you like. Hope this helps and enjoy the art. ....... Bigeasyart
