Main Enterprises' WHAT EVER! #3 hits the post-apocalyptic scene with a big bang, spotlighting Kamandi, Thundarr, "The Last Man on Earth", "The Omega Man" and more!
Will Murray supplies "Origins of Thundarr the Barbarian": a comprehensive article on Steve Gerber's enduring, New Earth hero (and the 1980 animated series that shot him toward Saturday morning stardom), embellished by the wondrous illustrations of John Lambert, George Lane III and Michael Neno.
From Buck Oviatt comes "Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth: A Review of the Series", a powerhouse article that covers the genesis and pop-cultural expansion of the DC/Jack Kirby/Earth A.D. saga, fueled by the gripping artwork of Verl Holt Bond and Steve Shipley.
The essay, "The Last Omega Men: A Comparison of Legends" springs from yours truly: a tit-for-tat based on the earliest film adaptations of Richard Matheson's terrifying novel, "I am Legend". There are vivid photos on display for each movie, and Kevin Duncan and Marc Haines grant awe-inspiring, full-page tributes that will leave folks drooling with mutating vim!
In addition to the above, there's Main's "This & That" column and comic-book reviews by Derek Bishop and Michael Waggoner, plus a colorful, front cover layout by Haines and a dynamic, Kamandi back cover by Lane.
To order this historic, 48-page issue, send $8.50 per copy via check ("postpaid in the USA") to Jim Main, PO Box 93, New Milford, CT 06776.
What Ever #3 is a full-fledged must-have for all post-apocalyptic fans!!!
