Penciled and inked by Russ Heath, this chilling tale from 1974 unfolds with stark, unsettling art, while Bob Larkin's cover captures the story's eerie dread.
In "The Rats!", Jo, a man devoted to a life of purity through vegetarianism and antispécism, finds his unwavering principles tested when his sanctuary becomes a battleground of primal fear. What begins as a quiet commitment to living in harmony with all life spirals into a harrowing confrontation with something far more insidious than he ever imagined.
In "The Last Man!", a bank robber’s violent act spirals into a haunting psychological descent when he’s struck unconscious—only to awaken in a surreal nightmare where Earth is empty except for him and the clerk he wounded. As the clerk lies dying in his arms, the weight of his crime twists reality into a haunting, guilt-ridden fantasy.
