Vengeur #17
In "Le conquérant de l'espace," Jim Steranko crafts a chilling sci-fi thriller as Fury, half-awake in his office, receives a call from Val about a UFO over Manhattan. When an alien named Vaengr emerges, offering the Prism of Miracles to end all human conflict, the trio’s investigation into his ship quickly unravels into a nightmare—revealing the alien’s true, monstrous nature. With art by Steranko and inks by Joe Sinnott, and a cover by Jack Kirby and John Romita, this 1976 issue delivers a tense, surreal descent into alien deception.
In "Le conquérant de l'espace," the Avengers—Captain America, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch—join forces with Princess Ravonna in a desperate stand against Kang the Conqueror’s relentless advance. When Kang’s victory proves hollow and his army turns on him, he’s forced to make an uneasy alliance with the very heroes he sought to destroy.
When Nick Fury drifts off in his office, a call from Val interrupts his rest—she’s reporting a UFO landing in mid-town Manhattan. As crowds gather to witness the arrival of the alien Vaengr, who offers a mysterious Prism of Miracles to end all conflict, Fury, Val, and Dum Dum Dugan investigate the craft only to uncover a terrifying deception. The alien’s true form emerges in a grotesque, insect-like transformation, leaving Fury reeling—only to wake up, shaken, as Dugan delivers a chilling report about a real UFO sighting.
In "Dommage, Tante Margaret !", Dr. Graves presents a chilling tale of betrayal and twisted fate, where a pair of scheming relatives believe they’ve eliminated their aunt—only to find their plans undone by a horrifying reversal. When the victim’s body is not her own, the true horror begins as the roles of hunter and prey are irrevocably switched.
In "De la potence au tombeau," Dr. Graves recounts a chilling tale of vengeance: after an innocent man is condemned and executed, those responsible for his death—and even the hangman who carried it out—begin to die in gruesome, mysterious ways. The story unfolds with a creeping dread, as the past returns in the form of a new, unseen hangman who brings justice from beyond the grave.
