Skræk #1
"Kærlighed og kildevand" in Skræk #1 (1994) delivers a chilling blend of small-town dread and supernatural unease, with Al Feldstein and Joe Orlando crafting a tale where a skeptical traveler stumbles into a diner that only opens after dark—its menu far more literal than he expects. Jack Davis’s striking cover sets the tone, but it’s the quiet tension of a town shutting down at dusk and a man’s hunger leading him straight into a vampire’s feast that makes this a standout.

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.
