Anthro #6

Anthro #6 was published by DC Comics in 1969 as part of a series centered on the titular character, Anthro, the first boy born in the Paleolithic era. Created by artist and writer Howard Post, the character was a departure from the typical superhero fare of the era, offering a satirical and somewhat melancholic take on human history through a prehistoric lens. The series sought to blend traditional adventure tropes with commentary on the human condition, positioning its protagonist as an outsider navigating the struggles of early survival and tribal conflict.

The design of the series reflected the stylistic transitions occurring in late-1960s comics, moving away from the rigid frameworks of the Golden and Silver Ages toward more experimental storytelling. While the series was ambitious, it occupied a niche space within the DC catalog and struggled to maintain a lasting foothold with a mainstream audience. It is remembered today primarily as a curiosity of the period, noted for its unique creative vision and the role it played in diversifying the genres explored by DC during the twilight of the Comics Code Authority's most restrictive years.
