Le Tombeau de Dracula #9
In "La mort vient de la mer!", Stan Lee and Larry Lieber deliver a chilling twist on urban dread, as a seemingly ordinary elevator operator in a haunted hotel reveals a terrifying truth: the 13th floor doesn’t exist—making the spy’s bomb a fatal miscalculation. Don Heck’s moody art and John Romita’s cover, inked by Tom Palmer, heighten the unease in this eerie 1974 tale from Editions Héritage, where the real horror lies in what’s not there.

An oddly cheerful elevator operator is held at gunpoint with a passer-by by a spy planning to blow up the hotel. The elevator lets the spy off at the 13th floor, and while the passer-by is terrified, the elevator operator simply fades away, explaining that the bomb will never go off, since there is no 13th floor.
