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.
In "A la recherche de mon père !", Namor ventures to the surface world, seeking to understand his human roots and reconnect with Llyra.

When Diane reveals a startling clue about his father’s possible survival, Namor’s quest takes a new, urgent turn.
In "Le secret du mirage," a doctor ventures into the Middle East to heal the sick, only to be betrayed by a sheikh he’s cured and hunted into a desert mirage that leads him to a hidden, utopian realm. The mirage admits only the worthy, and as bandits pursue him through the shifting sands, their fate becomes entwined with the mystery of the place—where survival depends on more than strength alone.
In "De simples épouvantails," a man schemes to seize his uncle’s farm by having him declared insane—until the sheriff returns from a visit shaken to the core, warning the nephew to stay away. The farmer’s chilling confession to the sheriff, delivered with quiet certainty, reveals a truth far stranger than madness: he is not just speaking to scarecrows—he is one.
