“Why They Call Them Mavericks”

In "Why They Call Them Mavericks," a madcap tale from Al Williamson’s legendary run on Forbidden Worlds, a lonely atomic researcher finds himself trapped in an oversized room designed to drive him insane—only to flip the script with a clever shrink ray and a daring reversal. The story’s visual flair is unmatched, with Williamson handling both pencils and inks, while the cover by Frank Frazetta—penciled and inked by Williamson—delivers a striking, surreal image that captures the issue’s offbeat charm.
