"The Last American" is a four-issue comic book mini-series released by Marvel's Epic imprint in 1990. It was written by John Wagner and Alan Grant with art by Mike McMahon.

Publication history

Wagner wrote the first two parts and Grant the last two. [ [http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/features/interviews/2005/grant/grant6.shtml 2000 AD Review - Alan Grant Interview part 6 ] ] Grant has said that this was done because it couldn't have been done any other way, "Together with Chopper in "Oz", it brought the crisis in John's and my partnership to a crescendo." [ [http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/features/interviews/2005/grant/grant8.shtml 2000 AD Review - Alan Grant Interview part 8 ] ] Concluding "The only time we ever did alternate episodes was on Last American, when our partnership was teetering on its last legs anyway. If we hadn't done it that way, it still wouldn't have been published today, we argued so much about it." [ [http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/features/interviews/2005/grant/grant3.shtml 2000 AD Review - Alan Grant Interview part 3 ] ]

Plot

Twenty years after a global nuclear conflict, one man is released from suspended animation to see what remains. It is unclear why nuclear war occurred or who started it but the devastation is immense. The protagonist is joined by three robot companions who accompany him on his journey to discover if he is, in fact, The Last American alive.

Collected edition

The series was also re-released by Com.x trade paperback.
