“The Amazing Trial of John (Gorilla) Doe!”

In "The Amazing Trial of John (Gorilla) Doe!", Otto Binder and Manny Stallman craft a mind-bending sci-fi tale where Jan Holt’s consciousness is hurled across the cosmos after a high-speed experiment, landing in the body of a dog-like alien. Stranded on a distant world, he must outwit alien explorers and survive a planetary geyser to pilot a rescue ship back to Earth—only to face a final, unexpected test upon return. Gil Kane’s striking cover captures the story’s surreal tone, while Joe Giella’s inks bring the cosmic journey to life.

Jan Holt is accelerated to the speed of light in an ultra-centrifuge and his consciousness is flung out into space. It lands in the body of a dog-like creature on another planet. By luck a spaceship from Earth lands to survey the planet. Holt tries to gain their attention but the explorers dismiss all his attempts to communicate. The rocket is flung into space by a super geyser leaving the explorers behind. Holt jumps into the ship and manages to land it. He is taken back to Earth as a reward. He runs off to the hospital where his mentality is drawn back to his body as he gets close.
