In "Témoins oculaires !", Tony and Clymenestra stumble upon Jack and Lissa Russell at a bustling Renaissance fair, only to find their day upended when Lissa is overtaken by Morgan Le Fey and Jack is transformed into the Werewolf by Night as the full moon rises. Written by Dennis Mallonee and illustrated by Rick Hoberg, with inks by Ian Akin, Brian Garvey, and Steve Geiger, and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1987 issue captures a surreal clash of myth and modernity. The cover by Jean Frisano perfectly captures the moment’s eerie tension.
