- At the height of the cold war, a madman tricks the United States and theSoviet Union into launching their missiles and super-hero agents against eachother. But instead of nuclear Armageddon, the act releases the secret cosmicpotential of the human race.
- It was twenty years ago today that Rick Veitch took a bucketful of nuclearfear, added a healthy dollop of New Age mysticism, and served up a comic booksuper-hero series like no one had ever seen before. Written and drawn at theheight of the final showdown between American style capitalism and Soviet eracommunism, The One spins an outrageous doomsday scenario that has proveneven more relevant to today's ongoing global crisis.
- The One begins with the United States and the Soviet Union pushedinto World War III by a certain blonde billionaire who has figured out how toturn a profit from a limited nuclear exchange. But the threat of Armageddonawakens a mysterious force in the human race that disarms the missiles and setsthe world on a high-speed collision course with evolution.
- Finding themselves stripped of their atomic arsenals, both the American andRussian governments unleash top secret super-soldier projects to wage hand tohand combat against each other. The ensuing "Superior War" makes nuclear weaponsseem like mere child's play.
