Vaughan, Y: THE LAST MAN 'Fascinating...one of the brainiest and most interesting comics of the year.' - Wired Tom Taylor's life was screwed from the word go. His father created the mega-popular Tommy Taylor boy-wizard fantasy novels.

Now, to protect his life and discover the truth behind his origins, Tom will travel the world, to all the places in world history where fictions have shaped reality.
