Amazing Stories of Suspense #S[C]
In "The Last Man Alive!", a disgraced assistant believes he's become invisible after a lab mishap, only to spiral into panic when his friends ignore his claims of his professor's death. With mounting dread, he races back down a lonely road, unaware that his isolation is less a scientific curse and more a social punishment—and that the formula he thought made him vanish was never real to begin with. Art by Robert Q. Sale, with a striking cover by Bill Everett.

A professor's assistant arranges an accident for his employer in order to sell his invisibility potion to a foreign power. He drives to his buddies to announce the professor's death but they ignore him, and he thinks he must be invisible because he spilled a bit of formula on himself. He rushes back along the bad road to the lab and has a fatal accident. What he doesn't know is that his buddies really don't like him much and were ignoring him on purpose to teach him a lesson in manners and that the professor's formula didn't really work.
