I just got the first Kamandi Anthology this week. Thus far I have read through the first two comicbooks. The anthology is very light and this did surprise me but the paper is decent, about a medium weight, and it is not glossy stock. Basically the Kamandi reprints look like the old comic book but at the same time the paper is a step up. I've seen what the modern graphic novels look like with their glossy stock paper and all. Such paper would make Kamandi and Jack Kirby's art look strange. This anthology respects the original visual appearance of the comic book. I hope part two is about the same. I would say though that the pixelated image on the actual hardbound cover is not to my liking. The dust cover uses actual Kirby art on the front and the pixelated image on the back. I think the book just has an pixelated image. So if you lose the dust cover then you will probably have an ugly looking book in your bookcase.I found the binding to be good on this edition. I am satisfied with the reprint quality, the colors, the paper cutting. The only drawback as I approach my 50th birthday though is that mostly all I see as I read through the comics is the limitation of the story telling and characterizations. I am simply not a nine or ten year old anymore and so the actual stories do very little for me now. I can still see how the art thrilled me at times though. Jack's Kamandi characters and story settings were always so visually compelling. I know there are some old comic books out there that would still entertain me somewhat. Kamandi though, some forty years later, reads as children's literature and the idea for this series was surely stolen or borrowed from the Planet of the Apes movies. I'm not knocking Jack for borrowing an idea but as an adult it does make Jack Kirby look a little less brilliant. I've read some similar review of adults reading Kirby stories again after several decades so I just wanted to chime in also. I can't fault Mr. Kirby though because the comic books were written as fantasy entertainment for children.
