It's 2002, and a plague of unknown origin has killed all of the male mammals on Earth-all except an amateur escape artist named Yorick Brown and his surly helper monkey, Ampersand. As the last remaining &-chromosome carriers on the planet, Yorick and his pet hold the fate of humanity in their hands. To ensure the survival of the species, they've teamed up with a gun-toting government agent and the world's premier bioengineer to discover the secret behind the plague. But while they ride the rails across a radically transformed America, the man-hating Daughters of the Amazon are right behind them-and an unplanned stopover in the seemingly utopian town of Marrisville, Ohio may mean the end of the line for the Last Man.

too bad this is where the library collection stops. graphic novels are a great way to while away an unexpected holiday :)

this volume got a bit kinky in spots, but the author seems to know his stuff - shakespeare, politics, classic literature... it doesn't feel like 'just' a comic book. maybe i'll try to get an interlibrary loan.
