Submariner #9
In "A la recherche de mon père !", Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a quietly unsettling tale where a nephew's scheme to seize his uncle's farm unravels when the sheriff returns from a visit shaken to his core—only to warn the boy to stay away. The twist lies in the farmer’s own secret: he claims he’s not just talking to scarecrows, but is one. Sal Buscema and Marie Severin’s cover captures the eerie stillness of a farm at twilight, where shadows seem to move just beyond sight.
