Horreur - une anthologie en bandes dessinées #[nn]
"Œil pour œil" in *Horreur - une anthologie en bandes dessinées* #nn (1974) delivers a chilling twist on the classic horror trope, with Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein crafting a tale that lingers long after the last panel. Joe Orlando’s stark, expressive art and Marie Severin’s haunting colors bring to life a small town where dusk means silence—and fear—while Al Feldstein’s cover, both pencils and inks, sets the tone with eerie precision. A man skeptical of vampires finds himself walking into a restaurant that shouldn’t be open, only to realize too late that some meals come at a price.

A man visits his sister in a small town where people get off the street and close up shop before sundown due to a recent spate of seventeen vampire killings but scoffs at the idea as the work of a homicidal maniac as vampires don't exist. He is hungry since the restaurant he was in earlier closed down before he could order something to eat and so he goes for a walk after dinner. He comes upon the same restaurant that he was in earlier and it is open now. He enters the place to get something to eat, but ends up on the menu himself, for it serves as an after-hours eatery to the local vampires.
