Sidéral #22

In "Le train dérouté vers l'espace," Gardner Fox and Gil Kane craft a sleek, mind-bending adventure where a trainload of humans is whisked across the cosmos to the alien world of Almoran—just as Almoran emissaries arrive on Earth in human disguise. When both groups are struck by a mysterious ray that puts the Almorans to sleep, the humans must play dead to outwit an unseen enemy, leading to a clever reversal of roles. Gil Kane’s dynamic interiors and Frank Giacoia’s sharp cover inks bring this 1960 French sci-fi gem to life, a standout in the Sidéral series with its timeless blend of suspense and cosmic wonder.
