Twin Earths

Oskar Lebeck and Al McWilliams crafted this quirky, five-issue series for Yaffa/Page starting in 1960, imagining a world where Earth has a twin planet on the opposite side of the Sun. The premise explores the cultural and scientific clashes that arise when the two civilizations finally make contact, blending mid-century sci-fi with social commentary. Though brief, Twin Earths stands out as a tidy, imaginative example of Australian comic book publishing during the era, showcasing Lebeck's knack for conceptual storytelling and McWilliams' clean, expressive art.
