L'Autre [The
Other] is the story of an extra-dimensional alien with shapeshifting powers
who has been sent by an evil intelligence -- the "Great Mind" -- to sow "ruin, fear and chaos" on Earth. He is discovered and pursued
by French journalist, Jean Vlad.
The Other claims to be Vlad's extra-dimensional counterpart -- indeed, in ep.
4, Vlad is sent to the Other's native dimension and undergoes a complete role
reversal and becomes the monster. The Other
can return home only after accomplishing his nefarious mission, and defeating Vlad in single, hand-to-hand combat.

L’Autre is virtually a remake of Wampus which had been cancelled
after only six issues because of censorship problems. As a result, it is a tamer and far less nihilistic
series. The two aliens, however, share the same unique eye design. L'Autre was published in "Futura"
Nos. 11-18 (1973-74).
