Template:Kamandi created


 * The character of Kamandi was created by writer and artist Jack Kirby. DC publisher Carmine Infantino had tried to acquire the license to produce books based on the Planet of the Apes film series, but when he could not secure the rights to the films, he tasked Kirby with creating a title that shared similar themes to the movies. Kirby drew upon an old unused story he crafted in 1956 called Kamandi of the Caves and re-worked it into a theme in-line with what Infantino wanted.
