In "The Professor's Visitors," Walter Ostrander vanishes without a trace—only to reemerge as Manuel Algaroba, the world’s only acrobat capable of the impossible spinning twist. What links his sudden transformation to the late Pedro Bargalbo, the one other man to ever master the same feat? Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Molno, with inks by Vince Alascia and letters by Jon D'Agostino, this 1984 Alan Class mystery unfolds with eerie precision. The cover, a striking collaboration by Dick Giordano, captures the enigma in shadow and motion.
