Before “Watchmen,” before “The Dark Knight Returns,” there was “The One.” Rick Veitch created his ‘last word on superheroes’ in 1984, amidst the Cold War, wanting to marry the existential dread that nuclear war weaved into our collective unconscious and the cape and spandex superheroes that had remained relatively untouched for 45 years. Re-scanned, re-collored, and recollected by Veitch and IDW, “The One” is sadly as relevant today as it was 34 years ago, and we are thrilled to share an exclusive first look at the fourth issue, which hits stores on May 2.

The American supersoldier, Charles, takes the new superior war to Moscow—only to be ensnared in the wily schemes of Vera Pavlova—while his super-powered sister Amelia defends the homefront from the onslaught of their fast-mutating Soviet counterpart, Bog. Caught in the carnage, Little Larry makes a startling transformation. The One! What you’re hoping to find, in the back of your mind, it’s the surreal thing!
