Alan Turing

Born
June 23, 1912
Died
June 7, 1954
A sepia-toned comic about Alan Turing, showing him at Cambridge, working with an Enigma machine, flirting with another man, and reflecting on his legacy.

Fact-check note: Turing made foundational contributions to computer science and was a leading cryptanalyst in Bletchley Park’s Hut 8. Enigma was not “solved by a man” acting alone: his work depended on earlier Polish breakthroughs and a large Allied codebreaking team. The comic’s private dialogue and several quotations are dramatized. GCHQ biography · Bletchley Park biography
