Yorick Brown

Few characters in Modern Age comics carry as much weight as Yorick Brown, the unforgettable protagonist of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's landmark Y: The Last Man, which launched in 2002 and has continued to reach new readers across nearly two decades of collected editions and compendiums. Emerging from DC's Vertigo imprint at a moment when mature, literary comics were redefining what the medium could do, Yorick anchors one of the most celebrated series of his era — a sprawling, emotionally rich story that keeps extraordinary company, sharing its pages with the formidable Agent 355, the enigmatic Allison Mann, and a cast of characters as vivid as any in comics. Whether you're discovering him through the original singles or diving into the Y: The Last Man Compendium, this is a character — and a series — that reminds you why comics storytelling is genuinely irreplaceable.
