Aventures Fiction #22
In "L'homme qui harponnait les mondes," Earth braces for the return of its first mission to Alpha Centauri—only to be stunned when two identical starships arrive, each carrying a crew that looks, speaks, and acts like the original. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Frank Giacoia, this 1960 tale of cosmic deception unfolds with a chilling question: how do you trust someone when even their shadow is a copy? The cover, by Gil Kane, captures the moment of arrival with striking precision.
