In "Uno, Last Man On Earth," a mysterious survivor from 4 million A.D. arrives in 1949, seeking humanity’s last hope to rebuild civilization—only to find the Rattler and his companion Tina, who are swept into his spherical ship and carried to a distant future. Written by Bill Woolfolk and illustrated by Jack Cole, this striking early Plastic Man tale blends sci-fi wonder with the series’ signature absurdity, as the Rattler’s attempt to use Uno’s disintegrating ray on Plastic Man backfires in a twist that changes everything. The cover by Jack Cole captures the eerie grandeur of the moment, a visual hallmark of the era’s bold, expressive style.
