Another Earth

About the author
Al Landau is a hard author to pin down, and that mystery is part of what makes the name interesting. Publicly available sources clearly connect him to Another Earth, a science-fiction story credited to David Evans and Al Landau and preserved by Project Gutenberg.
Comic-book databases also credit Al Landau on a number of stories, and the Grand Comics Database identifies an Al Landau who served as president of Marvel Comics from 1974 to 1976. Because the available sources do not fully separate the fiction writer from the comics figure, it's safest to say that the name is associated with both science-fiction writing and comics work.
For listeners drawn to overlooked pulp-era and comics-adjacent creators, Landau stands out as one of those half-hidden names whose trail still leads to imaginative, adventurous storytelling.
