L'Insolite #16
"La ballade du vampire" in L'Insolite #16 (1980) delivers a chilling mystery rooted in grief and deception, as the Phantom Stranger unravels a haunting that’s more criminal than supernatural. Written by John Broome and Gardner Fox, with art by Carmine Infantino and inks by Sy Barry and Joe Giella, the story blends eerie atmosphere with a clever twist, all wrapped in a striking cover by the same creative team.
In "A huit kilomètres de minuit," Angus Ferguson fakes his own death to test the town’s true feelings—only to find his passing met with celebration, save for two mysterious strangers who linger in silence. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds with quiet unease, probing the weight of perception and the cost of being seen.
In "Les trois revenants," three friends' sudden deaths in a plane crash leave their loved ones haunted by spectral visitations—until the Phantom Stranger steps in, revealing the eerie phenomena are no supernatural curse, but a cunning ruse by a deceitful embezzler weaving a web to hide his crimes.
