Le Journal de Tintin #14/1974
"Le cas paraffine" is a chilling mystery from the 1974 issue of Le Journal de Tintin, featuring a standout story by Will Eisner with art by Jerry Grandenetti and inks by both Eisner and Grandenetti. When Mrs. Paraffin confesses to killing her husband, Detective Dolan is left unsettled—her confession is too clean, too precise, especially after learning she used a chemical that dissolved him entirely. The cover, by Turk, captures the eerie tone of the tale with a stark, shadowed image that hints at secrets buried beneath the surface.
In "Le cas paraffine," Mrs. Paraffin confesses to killing her husband, but Inspector Dolan remains unconvinced—her confession is too clean, too precise, especially when he learns she used a chemical that dissolved her husband entirely. The mystery deepens as Dolan pieces together a case that defies logic, where the truth is as elusive as the man who vanished.
