In "Les morts-vivants du Baron Macabre," a man wakes in a thick fog, his past erased—until a mysterious stranger offers him hypnosis to reclaim his memories. As the truth emerges, he recalls a life as a circus performer who met a tragic end, and now faces the grim realization that his guide is none other than Death itself, come to claim him at last. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, with a striking cover by Gil Kane and Mike Esposito, this 1975 issue from Arédit-Artima delivers a haunting, dreamlike journey through memory and mortality.

In "Les morts-vivants du Baron Macabre," the Panther races through the jungle to save Kantu from a charging rhinoceros, only to face a far more sinister threat: Baron Macabre, a terror from Killmonger's ranks, who summons the dead to do his bidding. As the undead rise, Zatama falls, and Monica finds herself framed for the murder—caught in a web of shadows and secrets that tests the limits of justice and loyalty.

Le cauchemar
7 pp · Science Fiction

In "Le cauchemar," a man recounts a vivid dream to a psychiatrist, describing an otherworldly encounter during a mysterious expedition—where he faces an alien that bears a startling resemblance to a human. The psychiatrist, unconvinced by the dream’s significance, insists such a being could not exist, leaving the dreamer’s experience lingering in the space between reality and the mind’s deepest fears.

Quand la Terre disparut
7 pp · Science Fiction

In "Quand la Terre disparut," a pair of tiny alien invaders, convinced Earth is empty and hiding, trigger their ultimate bomb—only to obliterate a boy’s forgotten ping pong ball and themselves in the process. The story, told with dry wit and surreal charm, unfolds in just seven pages, blending science fiction absurdity with a quiet, unexpected punch.

Qui suis-je ?
5 pp · Horror-Suspense
Death

In the thick, silent fog of "Qui suis-je ?", a man with no memory stumbles through a world that feels both familiar and alien. Guided by a stranger offering hypnosis, he slowly recalls the life he’s forgotten—once a circus performer who fell from the high wire. The truth dawns not in triumph, but in quiet recognition: the one who helped him remember is not a savior, but the one he was always meant to meet.
