In "Barely Human," a Nazi pilot’s desperate chase across a dimensional rift leads him to a strange world where he captures a mysterious dirigible—only to return to his own time decades older, his victory hollow and his reality irrevocably changed. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Jay Scott Pike, this 1956 tale blends wartime intrigue with early science fiction, anchored by Bill Everett’s striking cover art.
