Big Boss #43
In "L'homme de 70 tonnes," the peaceful Kull's network of anti-matter warning lighthouses takes an unexpected turn when one drifts into Earth's solar system. Two Earthmen stumble upon the abandoned structure, only to be captured by the Zarran—rivals of the Kull—who plan to weaponize the lighthouse by channeling the blotches' radiation against their enemies. With the help of the stranded humans, the Zarran attempt to survive the deadly energy, leading to a tense alliance and a transfer of knowledge that could change Earth's understanding of the cosmos. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Mike Sekowsky, with inks by Frank Giacoia, this 1979 adventure from Arédit-Artima delivers a rare, thoughtful sci-fi tale in a 4 FRF cover price comic.
In "La journée de 24 000 H," Brad Stanton and Jim Kirby take a job mining on an asteroid where a single day stretches to 24,000 hours—a bizarre twist that turns their payday into an endless, disorienting ordeal. The promise of a thousand dollars a day quickly unravels as they confront the surreal rhythm of time on this strange world.
In "L'homme qui découvrit la Terre," an explorer stumbles upon a world eerily like Earth—familiar yet subtly alien. As he tries to share humanity’s advancements with its people, he meets resistance at every turn, until a quiet revelation changes everything.

As the Earthmen grapple with their new role in a cosmic conflict, they uncover truths that could reshape humanity’s understanding of the stars.
