Cosmos #17
In "Le bolide 'Alpha'", a computer programmer’s relentless focus begins to blur the line between man and machine, unlocking a mind sharp enough to aid the police in solving crimes—though at a cost only he can sense. Written by Dave Wood and illustrated by Gil Kane, with inks by Gil Kane, this 1971 issue from Cosmos #17 captures a uniquely cerebral thriller in the early days of sci-fi noir. The cover by Gil Kane perfectly frames the story’s cool, calculating tension.
In "L'homme au cerveau électronique," a dedicated computer programmer finds his mind evolving into something eerily mechanical, granting him an uncanny ability to solve crimes—just as the local police begin to rely on his strange, brilliant insights. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, exploring the blurred line between man and machine, all in a world where logic and intuition merge in unexpected ways.
