Hercule #6
In "Jeu de guerre," Charlie Linton finds himself transformed by an unexplained connection to sunlight—gaining weight not from food, but from absorbing solar energy. With his strange new power, he helps launch the first small manned rocket into space, pushing the boundaries of human flight. Written by Joe Samachson and illustrated by Jerry Grandenetti, with inks by Joe Giella, this 1978 issue features a striking cover by Walter Simonson and Al Milgrom.
When Bill Baggett, a man haunted by a fleeting past with Green Lantern’s power ring, reclaims its might, he turns its light toward darker ends—using its cosmic might for personal gain. The ring’s power may be vast, but its wielder’s morality is far from certain.
In "L'homme qui mangeait du soleil," Charlie Linton’s body inexplicably absorbs sunlight, causing him to gain weight without eating—until he discovers his strange gift can power the first small manned rocket into space. A quiet, offbeat sci-fi tale of human potential and cosmic curiosity, this six-page story from Hercule #6 (1978) explores the limits of the body and the quiet revolution of a man who feeds on the sun.
