Vengeur #11
"Crime sur l'astéroïde" marks a standout moment in the Vengeur series, with Stan Lee's writing and Steve Ditko's distinctive art bringing a surreal, dreamlike tension to the page. In this 1974 issue, the 5th dimension—home to beings that exist only in dreams—threatens to breach our reality, and the narrator’s desperate act of publishing his tale in Strange Tales becomes a quiet battle of belief itself. Cover by Steve Ditko.

The 5th dimension is the dream dimension. The creatures there are trying to pass into this dimension, but belief in their existence as opposed to surmising a mere dream experience disrupts the structure of the dream dimension and forces the creatures to withdraw from our world. The narrator sells his story to Strange Tales to encourage readers to believe in the creatures and frustrate their invasion aspirations.
