Futuropolis is the last city of men on
Earth in the far future. It is ruled by a council of Elders, and commands a powerful army of robots. But it is also a city without a soul.
When the body of a primitive caveman is found, the Elders
dispatch Rao and Maia to investigate. After crossing mutant-infested caves, they discover a primitive tribe
of cavemen. The Elders decide that
they should be enslaved. Rao, who
has fallen in love with Iaona, rebels.
Maia turns against him. A fierce
battle rages, at the end of which Iaona
kills Maia, Futuropolis is overthrown and a new age dawns for mankind.
Futuropolis was originally serialized
in the magazine "Junior" in
1937-1938. A pseudo-sequel, Electropolis,
followed in 1940.
Futuropolis was collected in the graphic
novel format by Glenat in 1977, and again reprinted in 1999.
