A tense, emotionally charged journey through a fractured world where survival is complicated by secrets, tabloids, and the ghosts of the past.
What it feels like
Reading this volume feels like catching your breath while running a marathon, only to realize the hardest part of the journey still lies ahead. The narrative moves at a brisk, urgent clip, blending sharp, pop-culture-infused banter with moments of profound, quiet melancholy. As the story shifts to the sun-baked, dangerous landscapes of Australia, the atmosphere grows increasingly tense and desperate, weighed down by the characters' mounting secrets and the relentless pressure of unwanted exposure. The clean, expressive artwork grounds the apocalyptic chaos in deeply human stakes, making every betrayal and sacrifice sting. It is a perfect fit for readers who love their dystopian survival epics laced with dark humor, political intrigue, and devastating emotional payoffs.

About the book
The saga of Yorick Brown, the last man on Earth, continues in PAPER DOLLS. In addition to catching up on the adventures of Yorick's monkey Ampersand (whose body holds the key to stopping the male-killing plague) and telling the origin of Agent 355, PAPER DOLLS chronicles Yorick and 355's search for Yorick's fiancee Beth in Australia -- a search that yields a large dose of unwanted publicity for the Last Man, and deadly consequences for those he cares for!
