Jennifer Brown

Jennifer Brown is Yorick Brown's mother and a U.S. Congresswoman who finds herself thrust into an unprecedented political role when a mysterious plague simultaneously kills every male mammal on Earth, leaving her son as the sole surviving man.

From the very first issue of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's landmark Y: The Last Man in 2002, Jennifer Brown has been woven into one of Modern Age comics' most celebrated stories. A DC series that ran for nearly two decades, Y: The Last Man surrounds her with an extraordinary cast — Yorick Brown, Agent 355, Ampersand, Allison Mann, and Alter Tse'elon among them — and Jennifer's presence in that world speaks to the richly layered ensemble Vaughan and Guerra built from the ground up. She may not command the spotlight as frequently as some of her co-stars, but any character rooted in Y: The Last Man from its very debut carries the weight and prestige of a genuinely landmark series. For collectors and readers who love thoughtful, character-driven storytelling, her place in that world is reason enough to seek her out.
