Synopsis for "The Last Boy on Earth!"

This story is reprinted fromKamandi #1.

Kamandi is the so-called "Last Boy on Earth". Growing up in an apocalyptic future, he rides a raft down the flooded streets of what was once Manhattan. He sees a group of nomadic humans who flee at the sight of him. While studying them, Kamandi hears an explosion emanating from his command bunker headquarters. He races back to the base to find that someone had set off the booby traps.

Running inside, he is shocked to discover that two wolf-men named Fen and Stek have murdered hisgrandfather and stolen some documents that they found within the bunker's walls. The wolves attack Kamandi, but he shrugs off the assault with some well-placed karate moves. They chase him down into the tunnels that run beneathCommand D, but Kamandi pulls down some wires that strikes the water, electrocuting them.

Emerging from the tunnels, Kamandi takes the Wolves' wagon and drives away. A short time later, he comes upon another amazing sight - a squad of armoredTiger-Men embroiled in armed combat against someLeopard-Men. Kamandi finds himself caught in the middle of the conflict and is captured by the Tiger-Men. The Tiger-Men leaderGreat Caesar bring him back to the Royal City where he is imprisoned.

Kamandi meets a dog man namedDoctor Canus, who is the caretaker of Caesar's prisoners as well as the keeper of a giant nuclear warhead - a holdover from the days before theGreat Disaster. Inside Canus' private laboratory, Kamandi meets one of the Nuclear People -Ben Boxer. Kamandi is ecstatic at the chance to meet another human being.
