Flash #17
In "L'homme puzzle," Brad Stanton and Jim Kirby take a job as space-miners lured by a tempting ad promising $1000 a day—only to discover their shift lasts 24,000 hours. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Manny Stallman with inks by John Giunta, this 1974 Flash issue from Arédit-Artima delivers a mind-bending twist on time and labor in a story that's as clever as it is surreal.
In "Une journée de 24000 heures," 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 a simple payday into an unexpected ordeal. The story unfolds as the two men confront the strange, stretched-out rhythm of life on a world where time itself feels alien.
