Héros de l'aventure #5
"Opération déguisement" delivers a tense, character-driven sci-fi mystery in Héros de l'aventure #5 (1972), where Captain Johner and his crew investigate a derelict Earth ship amid a meteor storm. Written by Robert Schaefer and Eric Freiwald, with dynamic art by Russ Manning, the story unfolds with quiet dread as the team encounters a survivor driven to madness by isolation—revealing that even among the stars, the human spirit can fracture. The cover by George Wilson captures the moment’s eerie suspense, making this a standout entry in the series.
In "Opération déguisement," Magnus faces a twist as chilling as it is clever: Mekman’s army of robotic doubles aren’t just impostors—they’re part of a deeper deception. When Magnus uncovers the truth that Mekman himself is a human masquerading as a machine, the battle shifts from mechanical warfare to a test of identity and resolve.
In the silent void, a stranded Earth ship detects a derelict vessel, its hull scarred by time and space. Captain Johner boards alone, only to be knocked unconscious—just as Rodg and the alien Og follow, ready to face the mystery within. When the survivor is brought aboard, a fragile bond forms between humans and alien, forged in the shared quiet of the cosmos.
