Die Gruft von Graf Dracula #22

In "Bong!", a man consumed by jealousy plots to eliminate his rival for a woman’s love—only to meet a grim fate when he tumbles into the bell-maker’s molten vat. His final act, born of hatred for sound, becomes a cruel irony: his soul is forever trapped in the town’s loudest bell, tolling endlessly.

In "Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand!", two alien recruiters—one a Polka dot envoy, the other a Stripe emissary—descend upon Earth, each seeking to enlist humans into their respective interstellar armies through nothing more than their voices and presence. As their recruitment pitches clash in a surreal, high-stakes standoff, ordinary people find themselves caught between cosmic choices they never asked for.
