With Earth abandoned and only one companion left, he finds himself in a quiet, haunting role as the last man, facing the weight of renewal with a single soul. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with striking precision by Steve Ditko—his inks adding depth to the story's quiet drama—this issue features a cover by Wally Wood that captures the isolation and scale of the moment.
In the midst of a war against machines, human forces face a chilling threat: a robot spy infiltrating their ranks, posing as a human. But when the deception is uncovered, the truth flips the script—revealing the spy was never a robot at all, but a human playing the part.

What Mason doesn’t know is that Kor isn’t human—his ability to stay underwater far longer than any man is no trick, but a gift from another world.
In "A Thousand Years Later..." from Astounding Stories #35 (1968), a scientist extends his life far beyond his time, watching humanity grow and change as Earth becomes overwhelmed.
