Etranges Aventures #33

In "Le miroir enchanté," a reclusive millionaire named Silas Haggle acquires an enchanted mirror that grants him the power to trap anyone he dislikes inside its surface. After using it to rid himself of a growing list of nuisances, he faces an unexpected threat from IRS agents—and must decide whether to trap them too. The mirror grants his final wish in a way he never expected, leaving him alone with the consequences of his own desire.

In a bizarre twist of interstellar duty, an alien commander from Krangro lands on Earth with a mission to prove his valor by capturing three humans—only to accidentally seize statues of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt instead. The resulting chaos unfolds as the creature grapples with the absurdity of his "prizes," blurring the line between conquest and comedy.

In the quiet dread of a false alarm, Mr. Clagg finds himself trapped in his own meticulously built bomb shelter—his sanctuary now a prison of his own making. With no way to open his emergency rations and a month stretching ahead, the man who hoarded safety discovers just how fragile solitude can be.
