Y: The Last Man stands as a defining work from Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, a visionary collaboration that transformed post-apocalyptic storytelling. Now, the saga’s opening movement is presented in a definitive Absolute Edition worthy of its legacy.
In 2002, the world changes forever. Every man, every boy, every mammal with a Y chromosome everywhere on Earth suddenly collapses and dies. In the aftermath, a world of women is left to piece together the wreckage and keep civilization from collapsing completely.
The "gendercide," however, is not absolute—a single man named Yorick Brown and his pet monkey are spared. So begins an extraordinary journey as the world’s two remaining males set out to solve the mystery of the sex-specific plague and preserve the future of mankind. But how can one man save an entire species when his heart belongs to only one woman—and she’s on the other side of the globe?
Created by the acclaimed team of writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra, the Eisner Award-winning saga of Y: The Last Man is presented here in a stunning Absolute Edition. This first of three volumes collects issues #1-18 of the groundbreaking Vertigo series and includes a special sketchbook section from Guerra as well as the original script for issue #1.
Brian K. Vaughan is the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning co-creator of many critically acclaimed comic books, including Saga, Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, Runaways, and Pride of Baghdad. A professional comics writer since his days as an undergraduate film student at New York University, Brian has written every major DC and Marvel character from Batman to the X-Men.
