Special Events #14

In "La minaccia verde!", Rat-Man, battered and bloodied, is rescued by a scientist and his daughter—only to learn the shocking truth: the girl is one of the scientist’s plant experiments, and the lab’s latest creation is spiraling out of control. With the base on the brink, Rat-Man must navigate this bizarre new threat before it’s too late. Written and illustrated by Leo Ortolani, this 1998 humor superhero tale blends absurdity with heart in a wild, plant-powered twist.

In "Dal futuro!", a cyborg from a near-future timeline is sent back to assassinate a key figure, threatening the present with ripple effects only Rat-Man and his own future self can prevent. Written and illustrated by Leo Ortolani, this 24-page humor-hybrid thriller blends time-travel chaos with the series' signature absurdity, as past and future versions of the hero collide in a race against a mission that defies logic.

In "L'araldo!", a silver creature descends upon Earth, accompanied by its master, setting off a crisis that only Rat-Man can answer. When the hero volunteers to take the fallen araldo's place, he steps into a role far stranger—and more absurd—than he ever imagined.
