L'Écho des Savanes Spécial U.S.A. #7
In "Jean de la Lune," a desperate scientist uses a mysterious projector to banish his enemies to another world, but when one returns—horrified and desperate—he's forced to confront the consequences of his own creation. With the beam still active and other victims trapped on the other side, the man now stands at a chilling crossroads, facing a choice that leaves him—and the reader—struggling with what to do next. The story, illustrated with bold, surreal flair by Basil Wolverton, concludes with a direct, haunting question: "What would you do?"

A scientist uses a projector that banishes people he dislikes to another world. A light indicates where the beam connects both worlds and one of the men returns. He shoves the scientist through the aperture where he is killed by the natives. Other victims rush forward hoping to escape but the man switches off the device. The story ends with the man uncertain what to do: turn the beam on and rescue the other victims which might allow the attackers to pour through, or shut it off and condemn them to die. He addresses the reader directly, asking "What would you do?"
