The Alley Man

The Alley Man

"The Alley Man" by Philip José Farmer was the cover story for the June, 1959, issue of "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction". The central figure, a thinly disguised Alley Oop, is the last Neanderthal who has survived into the 20th Century.

In a 1960 review, P. Schuyler Miller described this Hugo-nominated Farmer tale as "a robust, rambling comic tragedy of a dying species, trying to keep its heredity straight, clinging to its old legends, holding its own against the G'yaga, the False Folk who have inherited the Earth".
