Description
This page is a classic example of the high-adventure energy Dick Ayers and Alfredo Alcala brought to the Kamandi series. The opening landscape shot of the crater home establishes a massive sense of scale, making the descent of Bloodstalker and Doile in the 2nd panel feel like a true epic. It is particularly fun to see Bloodstalker's design here, as his clear Sherlock Holmes influence adds a great visual quirk to this post-apocalyptic world that Jack Kirby started!

The tension peaks when the pair is confronted by a robot double of Kamandi and his companions. By having the robot deliver an ultimatum that the area is off-limits to living things, a great moment of defiance is set up for the detectives. Bloodstalker’s immediate decision to open fire instead of retreating perfectly captures his gritty personality. Alcala’s, lush, atmospheric inking and super thick border panels gives the entire page a textured, heavy feel that looks fantastic!

I had no idea that Kamandi ran this long. I discovered after looking it up that it ran 59 issues. Crazy!

Alcala really elevates everything he touches.
