“Alpha, the Experimental Man!”

In "Alpha, the Experimental Man!", a mysterious figure named Jo stumbles into a world where bizarre local laws govern everyday life—where Milwaukee bans unattended cars, Corning enforces silence on the streets, and Alabama forbids salt on train tracks. Written, drawn, and lettered by Henry Boltinoff, this 1962 tale blends surreal satire with a touch of the uncanny, all framed by Dick Dillin’s striking cover.
