Dracula #17
In "Enquête pour un vampire," a 1978 5 FRF comic, a kind-hearted shoemaker whose nightly tales of helpful little people take a chilling turn when he falls ill and turns to a loan shark for help. As the moneylender’s demands grow unbearable, the shoemaker’s stories take on a terrifying reality—those tiny helpers are real, and their retribution is as precise as their craftsmanship. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko with inks by George Roussos, the issue’s eerie tone is matched by Gil Kane’s cover pencils and Tom Palmer’s inks.
In the frozen wastes of a snowy battlefield, Conan pursues Atali, a fierce warrior among the frost giants, as he battles her two monstrous brothers before capturing her—only for her father, the giant Ymir, to reclaim her in a moment of thunderous revelation.
In "L'usurier," a once-joyful shoemaker whose nightly tales of helpful little people begin to blur with reality finds himself trapped in a nightmare when illness forces him to turn to a ruthless loan shark. As the man’s debts spiral and the lender’s demands grow more relentless, the line between story and dread begins to vanish—until the final, chilling visit reveals the truth: the little people were never just stories, and now they’ve taken their revenge in the most unsettling way.
In "Dernier arrêt," a guilt-ridden truck driver finds his vehicle inexplicably parking each day in front of a cemetery, haunted by the memory of a man he struck. The story unfolds with quiet dread as he confronts the police and mechanics, who uncover a chilling detail: the truck’s engine is from a hearse, suggesting something far beyond coincidence.
