A panel from “Kamandi” #33 (1975), drawn by Jack Kirby and inked by D. Bruce Berry. This is a phone-camera shot, lit by a nearly-horizontal evening sun, so the grain of the coarse paper is casting shadows on itself. 

I recently read the entire Kirby “Kamandi” run, and I judge it to be the most successful series he did for DC in the 1970s. It limbers up by #9, leaning into horror/science-fiction storylines, and eventually comes closer to what was great about his 1960s “Fantastic Four” - as stories and cast of characters - than anything else he did in the 1970s.
