Released July 1993
The Last One #1
Synopsis
Eons ago, even as the hominids who would someday christen themselves homo sapiens were grasping the importance of opposable thumbs, there dwelt on Earth a race of immortal beings. As the new race grew, the old race saw its time was passing and retreated - all except for One who was fascinated by the new world and its new people. Calling himself Myrwann, this One has been among us ever since, sometimes wearing the form of a man, sometimes a woman, always aiding the bedraggled, guiding the castoffs, and treasuring the accomplishments of the forsaken he guided. But now something has happened. Ancient beyond imagining and weary beyond conception, Myrwann has lost the delight of life. Driven by a force he doesn't understand, he embarks on a harrowing journey through his previous lives - from the East Village of today to Hollywood of the 1920s, to the Buddha's India, to the Dawn of Humankind - searching for an answer for the darkness that has settled on his spirit.
