Caïn

The eternal, cursed wanderer of biblical legend, Cain serves as the mysterious host and caretaker of the House of Mystery, introducing visitors to its supernatural tales. His ancient burden makes him a fitting guide through horror and the uncanny.

Stepping out of the Bronze Age pages of Le Manoir des Fantômes in 1979, Caïn is one of those quietly compelling figures whose presence carries genuine weight — brought to life by the creative pairing of Jack Oleck and Mike Sekowsky for Arédit-Artima's French-language catalog. Across nearly five decades of publishing history, this character has kept remarkable company, sharing pages with the likes of Green Lantern, Flash, Atom, and the swamp-dwelling La Créature du Marais, as well as the enigmatic Abel. With appearances spanning Le Manoir des Fantômes, Démon, and even DC Christmas - 24 histoires pour attendre Noël, Caïn proves to be a versatile presence woven through some genuinely atmospheric corners of comics history — a Bronze Age original well worth seeking out for the dedicated collector.
