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.
