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 new Absolute Edition. In 2002, the world changes forever. Every man, every boy, every mammal with a Y chromosome everywhere on Earth suddenly collapses and dies. The gears of society grind to a halt. 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? This final volume collects issues #41-60 of the groundbreaking VERTIGO series and includes the complete script by Vaughan and pencilled pages by guest artist Goran Sudzuka for issue #53.

Every man, every boy, every mammal with a Y chromosome everywhere on Earth suddenly collapses and dies. With the loss of nearly half the planet's population, the gears of society grind to a halt, and a world of women are left to pick up the pieces and try to keep civilization from collapsing entirely. The "gendercide," however, is not absolutely complete. For some unknown reason, one young man named Yorick Brown and his pet male monkey, Ampersand, are spared. Overnight, this anonymous twentysomething becomes the most important person on the planet--the key, it is hoped, to unlocking the secret of the mysterious sex-specific plague. For Yorick himself, the most important person on the planet is 10,000 miles away--and he will stop at nothing to find her. In setting off across the post-male landscape, however, man and monkey are about to learn just how valuable they are--both as a prize and as a target.
