Cosmos #17
In "Le bolide 'Alpha'", a computer programmer’s relentless focus begins to blur the line between man and machine, unlocking a mind sharp enough to aid the police in solving crimes—though at a cost only he can sense. Written by Dave Wood and illustrated by Gil Kane, with inks by Gil Kane, this 1971 issue from Cosmos #17 captures a uniquely cerebral thriller in the early days of sci-fi noir. The cover by Gil Kane perfectly frames the story’s cool, calculating tension.
